See an airliner? Here's how to identify what it is. :-) Doesn't quite cover them all but still pretty good.

A plane experienced a loss of power while flying over some mountains in Italy a couple of days ago. The 22 year old aviatrix managed to put it safely down and all three occupants were unharmed. She performed an incredible mountain landing. Bravo Zulu on a amazing landing! #AvGeek

The amazingly tight flight envelope of the U2 at 70000ft 96kts you're in the stall buffet, 111kts you're in the transonic buffet certainly would keeps you on your toes controlling your airspeed.

The question is. At what point would you execute the missed approach for the LNAV approach at DSM? I know the correct answer is RW05 but it's messing with my head because it shows starting the missed approach a little before it. Can someone shed light on that for me?
