May 23, 2001: The right main landing gear of an American Airlines Fokker 100, registration number N1419D, operating as AA Flight 1107, collapsed upon landing on runway 17C after a scheduled flight from Charlotte/Douglas International Airport. The pilot was able to maintain directional control and stop the aircraft on the runway.
On January 14, 1970, an Aspen Airways Convair CV-240-12 (registration N270L) landed on the runway with its landing gear raised. The pilot in command wanted to keep the airspeed above 130 knots in case a go-around was required, and failed to extend the landing gear on short final. The gear warning horn did not sound. There were no injuries. [25]
Whereas, if an engine fails just below a high V 1, it will take more distance to stop, so the Accelerate Stop Distance Required is greater. [ 8 ] Alternatively, on runways longer than the balanced field length the pilot can use reduced thrust, resulting in the balanced field length again being equal to the runway length available.
the minimum distance between lines is 75 ft (23 m), and maximum is 200 ft (61 m) the maximum distance between lights within each line is 200 ft (61 m) the minimum length of parallel lines is 1,400 ft (427 m) the minimum number of lights in the line is 8.

The first derivative of the A320 was the Airbus A321, also known as the Stretched A320, A320-500 and A325. [9] [25] Its launch came on 24 November 1988 after commitments for 183 aircraft from 10 customers were secured. [9] [26] The aircraft was to be a minimally changed derivative, apart from minor wing modifications and the fuselage stretch ...

An aeronautical chart is a map designed to assist in the navigation of aircraft, much as nautical charts do for watercraft, or a roadmap does for drivers. Using these charts and other tools, pilots are able to determine their position, safe altitude, best route to a destination, navigation aids along the way, alternative landing areas in case of an in-flight emergency, and other useful ...
