Course followed by aircraft preparing to land?

(for small quiet airports see the "traffic pattern"), With a visual landing, The pilot will approach the point about 3 miles from the end of the runway at a 45 degree angle and configure the aircraft for landng(this is called the approach), once the aircraft is inline with the runway it will turn 45 degrees to be pointing down the runway (the aircraft should have received landing clearence by then, It will then decend as it nears the runway, This is called the (Final approach)The traffic pattern is a standard path followed by all aircraft when taking off and landing. The use of a traffic pattern is to ensure the safety of all aircraft operating in the area and efficiency in aircraft recovery. With a set traffic pattern pilots will be able to expect when and where to see other aircraft.There is no set length for each leg of the standard traffic pattern; however the typical traffic pattern has a 3-5 nautical mile (nm) final approach. When landing on an aircraft carrier the traffic pattern tends to be smaller as it is not required to use long approaches when landing on a moving carrier. For our purposes, we will use a standard separation of 2.0, between recovering aircraft/pattern aircraft. Proper Radio Transmissions And Pattern Positions Are Explained Below.The standard traffic pattern uses LEFT 90 degree turns at 1,000ft Above Ground Level.

Can airliner jet glide without fuel?

to a certain degree yes but it may probably go into stall. A glide is when an aircraft or object travels horizontally while dropping vertically. If it doesn't glide, then it drops vertically---i.e. a rock. If it can travel horizontally the same distance as the distance it falls, this is referred to as a 1:1 (one-to-one) glide slope. Many aircraft can not do this and will drop faster than they fly forward.
