![]() ![]() Anderson stated that the only instrument he was watching was the airspeed and I was sure it was nailed right on the bug" (93 KIAS) (It is noted that the operating procedures for a not flap approach requires an airspeed of V ref plus 20 knots.) I felt that the left wing dropped off as we sunk". Anderson states "Of course that's when our sink rate was pretty strong in coming out. ![]() Shortly after this Pilot Munson advanced the throttles full forward but Mr. Pilot Munson's hand then returned to the throttles which were "pretty well throttled back at that point" and he "sort of inched them forward and at that point I wouldn't feel or couldn't sense any response at all" (Anderson). No flaps were extended during this approach. In addition he knew the gear was not extended and made a comment to Pilot Munson to that effect who immediately extended the gear which further increased the sink rate. Hall, by reference to the red VASI display was aware that they were below the glide path and still descending while still some 4000 feet - 5000 feet from runway threshold. Neither passenger started to become apprehensive about the aircraft operation until beginning the turn onto final approach. This may be attributed to the ATCS request to extend the downwind for additional spacing requirements. ![]() Turn onto base was also reported as further out than normal from the runway threshold. On this approach he reduced power to or about idle on the downwind to reduce airspeed/altitude and when the gear warning horn sounded manually shut the horn off. Munson had not used a checklist on the previous approached but had extended the gear and flaps just prior to turning base leg. This is attributed to the maneuvering required for a Runway 23 departure and turn onto a Runway 19 downwind. Hall estimated 3.5 miles west of the airport. at about 200 knots indicated air speed (KIAS). The passengers again reported a high downwind about 3500' m.s.l. For separation of other light and slow aircraft in the pattern the Air Traffic Control Specialist (ATCS) requested he fly a right downwind for Runway 19 (6398' 150") for traffic spacing. Hall stated that Pilot Munson had invited him to shoot a no flap landing and due to his lack of familiarity with the aircraft he had landed long. On the third touch and go the aircraft was observed to touch down at near midfield. Initial takeoff was on Runway 23 (5598' x 150') and the pilot remained in closed traffic to perform touch and go landings, The first two touch and goes were normal except both passengers were in agreement that pattern altitude was flown higher than normal (2700' m.s.l.) and airspeeds were fast. Anderson was riding the seat just behind the cockpit. Hall was occupying the right, front seat and Mr. Munson during his flight training for his instrument rating. Hall whose principal occupation is flight instructor had instructed Mr. Both passengers were rated pilots but stated that they had not ridden in light, jet aircraft prior to this ride. Anderson to accompany him on a local flight in his recently purchased aircraft. The Aircraft Accident Report number is NTSB/AAR-80/02.Įarlier in the day Pilot Munson had invited two of his acquaintances Mr. The Safety Board's full report is available at. ![]()
