Pilot Insight: How Perfect Airplane Landings Are Done

Landing is one of the most critical phases of flight. Making an approach closer to the ground, adjusting aircraft speed, angle of attack, and the amount of lift and drag the aircraft must generate requires high precision. Historical data shows that most aircraft accidents happen during the approach and landing phases of flight. With very little or no margin of error, pilots must ensure that all flight parameters are within limits to ensure a safe landing.
