The standard glide angle followed by an aircraft during descent is 3 degrees and the nose of the aircraft should be at 2.5 degrees at the horizon level. Just before touchdown, the latter is increased to 5 degrees. However, in the IndiGo flight’s case, the pilot gave a negative pitch attitude and reduced the angle to 3.8 degrees resulting in the aircraft landing on the NLG. The report disclosed that the auto pilot was disconnected at 311 feet above ground level. At 100 feet, the captain gave a pitch- up command to ensure that the MLG touched the runway first.
Wow .. and here us idiotic pilots are sent by our companies for training to Boeing/Airbus facilities spending millions of $$$ !
Why cant the chaps in management simply get hold of some genius news reporters like this one above to impart training ?
They obviously know how to do all the flight planing, engine out stuff, total AC failure, rapid depressurization drills, landing in severe crosswinds .. the works !
