Wow, AoA 39 degrees at 116 kn and it didn't stall ! I guess at 70 feet agl it must have been in ground effect ?
Starts around .5 X wing span. 107' for an MD83
Thanks Bentwing60. So at 70 feet agl he would have been slightly above it (53 foot 6).
"Investigators have recommended that Bulgarian Air Charter introduces a specific simulation session, which replicates the Tarbes scenario, for MD-82 crew training."
Maybe the simulation can include a randomly selected 'omitted landing procedure step' to keep the crew on their toes?
