Introduction.
There is an old saying that while takeoff is optional, landing is mandatory.
In consideration of that adage, this chapter focuses on the approach to landing, factors that affect landings, types of landings, and aspects of faulty landings.
A careful pilot knows that the safe outcome of a landing should never be in doubt.
Pilots who respect their own limitations are able to approach each landing with confidence and achieve the satisfaction that comes from successful aircraft control.
After any landing, a pilot performs a selfevaluation.
If there is a question, a read of the relevant section in this chapter may help.
When needed, additional flight instruction enhances safety.
The manufacturer’s recommended procedures, including airplane configuration and airspeeds, and other information relevant to approaches and landings in a specific make and model airplane are contained in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)approved Airplane Flight Manual and/or Pilot’s Operating Handbook (AFM/POH) for that airplane.

Chapter Summary.
Accident statistics show that a pilot is more at risk during the approach and landing than during any other phase of a flight.
There are many factors that contribute to accidents in this phase, but an overwhelming percentage of these accidents result from a lack of pilot proficiency.
This chapter presents procedures that, when learned and practiced correctly, are key to attaining proficiency.
Additional information on aerodynamics, aircraft performance, and other aspects affecting approaches and landings can be found in the Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge (FAAH808325, as revised).
For information concerning risk assessment as a means of preventing accidents, refer to the Risk Management Handbook (FAAH80832, as revised).
