- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Takeoff and Landing Performance › Landing Performance
item that alters the landing speed or deceleration rate during the landing roll affects the landing distance. The effect of gross weight on landing distance is one of the principal items determining the landing distance. One effect of an increased ... gross weight is that a greater speed is required to support the aircraft at the landing AOA and lift coefficient. For an example of the effect of a change in gross weight, a 21 percent increase in landing weight requires…
- Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Crosswind Approach and Landing
Common Errors Common errors with forward slips to a landing: 1. Incorrect pitch adjustments that result in poor airspeed control. 2. Reacting to erroneous airspeed indications. 3. Using excess power while trying to lose altitude. 4. A slip ... same direction as any crosswind. 5. Poor glidepath control. 6. Late transition to a sideslip during landing with crosswinds. 7. Landing without the longitudinal axis parallel to runway. 8. Landing off the centerline. Crosswind Approach and Landing Most runways…

KNOWN TRAFFIC- With respect to ATC clearances, means aircraft whose altitude, position, and intentions are known to ATC. L LAA- (See LOCAL AIRPORT ADVISORY.) LAANC- (See LOW ALTITUDE AUTHORIZATION AND NOTIFICATION CAPABILITY.) LAHSO- (See LAND AND HOLD SHORT OPERATIONS.) LAND ... HOLD SHORT OPERATIONS- Operations that include simultaneous takeoffs and landings and/or simultaneous landings when a landing aircraft is able and is instructed by the controller to hold short of an intersecting runway or taxiway, a predetermined point, or an approach/departure…
- Chapter 8: Airport Traffic Patterns › Standard Airport Traffic Patterns
Figure 8-2. Traffic pattern indicators. Consider the following points when arriving at an airport for landing: ⦁ The pilot should be aware of the appropriate traffic pattern altitude before entering the pattern and remain clear of the traffic flow until ... established on the entry leg. ⦁ The traffic pattern is normally entered at a 45° angle to the downwind leg, headed toward a point abeam the midpoint of the runway to be used for landing. ⦁ The pilot should ensure that…
- Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Emergency Approaches and Landings (Simulated)
Emergency Approaches and Landings (Simulated) During dual training flights, the instructor should give simulated emergency landings by retarding the throttle and calling “simulated emergency landing.” The objective of these simulated emergency landings is to develop a pilot’s accuracy, judgment ... planning, procedures, and confidence when little or no power is available. A simulated emergency landing may be given with the airplane in any configuration. If the simulated power failure occurs while above best glide speed, the pilot allows the airplane…
- LANDINGS
LANDINGS Landing a skiplane is easy compared to landing with wheels; however, for off-airport landings, extra precautions are necessary. Be careful in choosing a landing site. Before landing, evaluate the site to be sure a safe departure will ... possible. Upon arriving at a prospective landing site, a pass should be made over the landing area to determine landing direction, and to determine if a safe approach and landing can be completed. A trial landing should be accomplished…
