Title:
Stabilized Approaches Fred Sweet CFII DPE - Monthly Safety Meeting at PWK by CEPA
Topic:
A Good Landing Starts with a Good Approach.
Speaker(s):
Fred Sweet, CFII, DPE
Brief Description:
Let's start with a review of the FAA's definition of a stabilized approach and objective ways to determine that you are stabilized on final. We'll discuss energy states and best practices to ensure approaches are consistently stable. Fred will explain how to determine the safest approach speeds and use them with confidence. And a good approach just might help us with a good landing. We'll review NTSB landing accident data and figure out how we might change our landing techniques. Wouldn't that be sweet?
