The instruments? primarily you re looking outside. you re trying to get a feel using your peripheral vision of how much how rapidly you re sinking to the ground. if you you look out, you look out the wind screen, coming down too fast, you hit the ground an get picked back up into it. if you re notsinking at all, landing is done by looking outside the air crave. he would have been looking outside the aircraft as the air traffic controller talked him through everything. the biggest question was, he didn t know how to turn the plane off. where is the switch? right here. so this is your mixture sorry, not your mixture, but condition lever. it would be up here in high idle for flight, low idle on the ground and take this and pull up straight aft and that shuts the fuel off to the engine. you make it look so eaeasy. i know it is not. thank you for explaining it to us. appreciate it. yeah. thank you for having me.
By CHAD GARLAND | STARS AND STRIPES Published: April 12, 2021 A Reaper drone crashed at the end of a New York runway last year because the operators mixed up the levers on the control panel, an Air Force investigation report released last week said. The unmanned MQ-9A Reaper quickly lost power and hit the ground about a minute after its takeoff from Hancock International Airport in Syracuse, N.Y., resulting in a loss of over $6 million in government property, the Air Force accident investigation board headed by Lt. Col. Brian E. Prichard said. The drone was assigned to the 174th Attack Wing and operated by the 108th Attack Squadron’s Launch and Recovery Element out of Hancock Field Air National Guard Base. The squadron is a training unit that produces newly qualified air crew, launch and recovery air crew, and instructor-qualified airmen for the Air National Guard and active Air Force.
