What are the key features of an airplane landing?

Answer 1

When landing an aircraft, there is usually a series of basic steps one must follow to achieve success. Locating the airport, contacting the tower, and identifying the runway to begin the landing approach are the first steps. Once this is accomplished, lining up the plane with the runway, lowering the landing gear, reducing speed and dropping elevation, while keeping the aircraft somewhat level, will usually ensure a successful landing. Once on the ground, taxiing off the runway completes the process.
