Approach Sequence: The order in which aircraft are positioned while awaiting approach clearance or while on approach.

 


Normal Approach Sequence
This first photo is on about a mile final from the runway. Approach to runway 32 at Lawrence MA (LWM) is over a lake... Airspeed at this point is about 50 knots.

A pilot who has the basic ability to perform an approach sequence may fall into the dual traps of divided attention and limited time. These weaknesses are usually due to poor habits and reduced management skills.
