I'm not sure what you're after here. I suspect what you intend by "abandoned landing" is an aborted landing, a go-around, or a wave off. Or perhaps you're referring to a missed approach. If that's not it, you might want to rephrase your question. There is a saying in aviation that "Take-offs are the most dangerous, while landings are the most critical." I believe that's true in the sense that more bad things can (and do) happen during take-offs, but the landing maneuver is more critical as it requires more skill and more things can go wrong. The aborted landing is a maneuver that is practiced on virtually every training session and involves quick recognition of a problem followed by a very specific set of procedures, which, if followed correctly, will safely get an airplane from inches off the runway up to a safe altitude from which a new approach can be initiated. Aborted landings can result from obstructions on the runway (another aircraft or a truck, for instance), unsafe conditions such as wind, or possibly even loss of visual contact with the runway. Any of these could necessitate an aborted landing and following the correct procedures almost invariably results in a safe maneuver.

Do any warships have landing pads for planes?
Yes google Aircraft Carrier if you won't to find out more.
What is the maximum tempo or rate of landings and take offs on an aircraft carrier?
The maximum rate of take offs and landings (tempo) on an aircraft carrier is 2 takeoffs and one landing every 37 seconds during the daylight and one takeoff and landing every minute during nighttime.
What was the first jet aircraft to hover?
The Harrier 'Jump-Jet.' Capable of taking off and landing vertically or normally.
Why was Okinawa a strategic island to capture?
there was an airfield on Okinawa. Possession of the airfield gave US aircraft a safe landing area in the event of aircraft damage incurred over Japan during bombing runs
Max speed of FA 18 landing on a aircraft carrier?
There really isn't a max speed of an F/A-18 landing on an aircraft carrier because: (skip to the bottom for the general and quick answer which is just a guess) 1) If the aircraft was going too fast, the tail hook would break upon hooking onto the wires 2) If the aircraft was going too fast, the wires the plane uses to stop would snap when the tail hook hooked them at a high speed 3)If the aircraft was flying over a speed of 240 knots (nautical miles per hour) the planes landing gear and flaps would automtically retract 4) The perfered speed to land (or the speed you should be traveling if you are doing everything right) should be 135 knots 5)If you were going too fast, the Landing Signal Officer (or LSO) would tell you to wave off (or abort the current landing pattern and realign for a new landing) So if there had to be a max speed to land on a carrier I'd say it would probably be about 150-160 knots
Why did the crew drop ropes from the aircraft when it was landing?
The crew dropped ropes from the aircraft when it was landing because they were doing a routine landing.
What is belly landing?
A belly landing is a landing of an aircraft without the landing gear being deployed.
What is a belly landing?
A belly landing is a landing of an aircraft without the landing gear being deployed.
Where is landing gear actuator located in aircraft?
On the Landing gear
What is the landing angle of an aircraft?
Most aircraft have different landing angels dependent on weight, wing shape and stalling speed.
When must landing gear be deployed?
Prior to the LANDING of the aircraft to which it is attached.
Which one is higher landing speed or take off speed of an aircraft?
landing
What is the landing speed of fighter jet on an aircraft carrier?
"The landing system on an aircraft carrier can stop a 54,000 pound airplane traveling at 150 mph in two seconds." Also, the aircraft carrier is often moving away from the landing aircraft (allowing a greater true air speed for the landing airplane.) Suppose the aircraft carrier is going 15 mph, then the 54,000 pound aircraft can land at a true airspeed of 165 mph.
Where can one buy an aircraft landing lights?
Aircraft landing lights are key to takeoff and landing, and should always be working and checked prior to takeoff. Replacement lights can be purchased from Amglo and XEVision.

How far from an airport should aircraft wheels be down?
The wheels along with the system is called Landing Gear. The Landing Gear can be retracted soon after take-off. Stationary landing gears slow the aircraft down.
What is the plane that can start with a vertical liftoff then switch to level flight called?
VSTOL = Vertical or Short Take Off and Landing aircraft. Whereas a STOL aircraft is a Short Take Off and Landing Aircraft. Maybe there is a term VTOL just for Vertical Take Off and Landing.
