Why is landing gear important in aircraft maintenance?
Because takeoffs are optional, landings are mandatory.
When Safety belts are required to be properly secured about which persons in an aircraft and when?
Passengers, during taxi, takeoffs, and landings only.
How many airplanes takeoff and land at LAX daily?
Los Angeles international had 622,506 aircraft movements (takeoffs and landings) in 2008 an average of 1701 a day.
How many takeoffs and landings and passengers in each airport?
1,300
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.
When are Flight crewmembers are required to keep their safety belts and shoulder harnesses fastened during?
takeoffs and landings.
What airport is the only airport to rival Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in passenger volume and in number of takeoffs and landings?

How are runways determined to be active?
because you walk up and down the runway doing all sorts of pose. i am improving this answer. the answer above mine is stupid. it clearly says the category is in airports. okay, so if a runway is active it is used for takeoffs and landings. (not much of an answer though)
What are the advantages of a tail wheel versus a nose wheel on an airplane?
A nose wheel (or tricycle) undercarriage aircraft has the advantage of easier, more stable takeoffs and landings, as well as control on the ground. A tail dragger has better short takeoff and landing characteristics as the wing incidence is higher, but with added difficulty when taxiing and the possibility of ground looping (aircraft pirouettes around one of the main wheels) Aircraft with retractible landing gear benefit from the lighter weight of tailwheel aircraft, plus added simplicity.
When Unless otherwise authorized two-way radio communications with Air Traffic Control are required for landings or takeoffs?
at all tower controlled airports regardless of weather conditions.
What is control surface on airplane wing called?
The ailerons are the control surface on the wings of an airplane. Ailerons control the bank (or roll) of the aircraft. Underneath the wing are flaps, which slow the airplane down and provide lift, typically used during landings and sometimes for short-field takeoffs. Some large aircraft also have slats, which are sort of like flaps for the front side of the wing. Many aircraft also have spoilers, or air brakes, on the top surface of the wing. On the tail are two other control surfaces, the rudder, which controls yaw, and the elevators, which control pitch.
How many planes can launch off an aircraft carrier per second?
The average aircraft carrier, in the United States Navy, can put a jet into the air every 15 seconds. The Jets need to have some time between their takeoffs for safety.
