landing techniques

Landing techniques involve controlling an aircraft’s descent to ensure a smooth, safe touchdown. Pilots reduce speed gradually and descend at a controlled rate, often aligning the aircraft with the runway. As they approach, they lower the landing gear and flaps to increase lift and stability. Just above the ground, pilots gently reduce throttle, allowing the aircraft to settle onto the runway with minimal impact. Proper technique balances speed, descent rate, and aircraft pitch, ensuring a safe, controlled landing that minimizes stress on the aircraft and enhances passenger comfort.
