Ideally, you should always land an aeroplane into the wind because it reduces your speed relative to the ground. Note that this is not the same as airspeed.

Do planes land into the wind?
They can, yes. It's a bit safer to land in the wind than landing with a tail-wind. A pilot can also land an airplane with a cross-wind.
Is the suburb of Belview in the direct flight path of planes landing or leaving Perth Airport?
It depends on which way the wind is blowing. Aircraft always land and take off into the wind.
Why is measuring the velocity of the wind and the pressure of the wind important?
Its important for the pilots in air planes and the designers of air planes. Please recommend me!
How is an anemometer used in airports?
An anemometer is a device used to measure wind speed. Together with a weather vane, the airport can report the wind speed and direction to incoming planes to assist in preparing for landing. As planes almost always take off and land into the wind to improve lift at low ground speeds, the airport will typically specify the takeoff and landing direction to incoming planes and, if they have runways with more than one compass orientation, which set of runways to use.
What do planes land on?
RUNWAY
Can planes take off and land at same time?
No because the air around the plane has pressure. If two planes take off at the same time the planes will crash. The planes might crash if they land at the same time.
What is wind movement from land to water?
its wind moving from land to water.
How are planes different than helicopters?
Planes cannot land straight up and down
Where do planes land?
Planes can land on airfields normally. Specifically on a runway. However some planes can land on water. FloAt planes for example. Others can land on snow if they equipped with skis and still other may land on unprepared surfaces like tundra when they are equipped with big tires that prevent them from sinking into the muck. There are many formal and informal airports around the world both on land, water and the stuff in between.
What is a float plane?
A float plane is a type of seaplane. Float planes land on extended floats like a normal airplanes landing gear, as opposed to boat-hulled sea planes. Float planes are usually land airplanes which have been converted to land on water, although some aircraft are specially designed for this purpose. Some aircraft like the Cessna Caravan are available in float-plane configuration straight from the factory, but most float-planes are modified land-planes. Float planes may or may not have the ability to extend wheels from their floats to land on land. It is a common feature, but not all float planes are so equipped.
Describe how wind erodes the land?
The main way wind erodes the land is by deflation.
Do planes need to take off and land into the wind?
Air passing over the wings created a vacuum between that airflow and the wing surface - This creates light allowing the place to climb - When no wind is passing over the wing the pilot will in effect fall) Taking off and landing INTO the wind (so the wind is blowing at the aircraft) allows for more lift and stability
