FLYBY: ARTICLE WRITTEN BY: BRIAN GROTE

摘要

Dear Brian, I've been flying for over 20 years. My usual run is a Denver departure at 9pm, fly to Billings, on to Cheyenne and then back to Denver by 5am. I fly a King Air 350. I love my career and I pride myself on doing the best job I possibly can. Last time out, however, I was making lots of little mistakes. I was cleared for the ILS Runway 35R into Denver, but I couldn't pick up ATIS. That's when I looked at my radios and noticed I had dialed in the wrong frequency. I glanced again and dialed in the right frequency. I continued through my checklist and set my Radar Altimeter to 5500 feet. I was ready to make my descent and start my approach. After the outer marker I glanced at my DH again and noticed that I had set my Radar Altimeter, 67 feet low. Luckily, I landed safely, bouncing the wheels just a little.
