During Approach

sirs.....


although i dont have any experience yet in flying a aircraft...
either small aircraft or heavy jets....

but playing on flight simulator...


but i can understand what you've talked about....

my idea on airbus and boeing....during approach...

when the GPWS callout MINIMUMS......


it means that you're reach already 200FT and your DECISION HEIGHT

either to continue your final approach going to touch-down

or

declare a missed approach and perform a GO-AROUND.


and during touchdown...50..40..30...20...10...RETARD...RETARD...RET


Retard means,

Idle the engine..(airbus has only this kind of GPWS callout)
then stowed the reverser and deployed it full......

i've seen on youtube that other pilots do a TOUCH and GO procedure....
part of their training in some airlines....

during landing....engines retard then....perform the take-off procedure again.....


braking system.....theres a switch to choose whether RTO, light, meduim,high,max.....

and can be disarmed by pressing the brake pedal(rudder)
Max breaking is not advisable during landing...



fast approach...? my idea why some pilot do a fast approach....


because of WINDSHEAR... to prevent the aircraft from stalling.


or......


Pilot exceed their time hours of work.....
(airline regulations)


sirs...i have a FCOM(AOM) of Airbus and Boeing...

although theres a lot of info about the system..
but i cant related to some other info because im not yet pilot...
so i based only on what i've read theoritaclly....



hope that my idea will help me as a future pilot.....


and correct me sirs if there some mistakes on my explainations...


thanks and happy flying
