He is already too low. VASI, visual approach slope indicators lights (the red ones) indicate a touch down on the "Not Here"
Pilots remember "Red over white, your all right, white over red, your dead!!

Ah - pilots - remember to calculate your fuel load correctly.

99.9% of the time (may actually be a higher %) simultaneous engine failure is due to excessive atmosphere in the fuel cell.

been a while

but arent the VASI lights usually beyond the threshold?

That is such a nice way of saying that .

LMAO yes it is

We had a customer offshore actually call in for help with that explanation, had to stop and think a moment before asking "are you out of fuel"?

Your correct cuth, he should be seeing red past the threshold and white where he is now. I think the animation is covering the forward set of red. Although this was intended for humor, think of the recent crash at Lexington KY where a sign saying "Not Here" would have saved the flight leaving the short runway. Do you fly?

[cuthbertss]

Wow cuth! Did you fly these? I just flew Cessna 150s and had five Ultralight / Experimentals. Landed on a road in the middle of nowhere on the Kentucky side of the Ohio River one time. Car had two guys and a girl trying to change a tire. One guy sat on the hood and was trying to direct the operation. One guy was using one hand and his head to lift the tire and both were giving instructions to the girl trying to operate the jack. I got out of the plane and went to help. The guy on the hood had no legs, the guy working on the spare was paralyzed on one side! I changed the tire, put everything back in the trunk, got back in my plane and flew away. I thought I had a good story until one of the other pilots said "Just think of the story that they have to tell!" LOL
