One thing is sure about flying. No matter where you are, what you are flying, or what the circumstances are, your flight will always end with a landing.
Many pilots agree that the quality and comfort of your landing depends entirely on how you fly the approach.
By improving your skills in flying approaches, and knowing the techniques for handling all kinds of landing conditions, you will be a safer and better pilot. Your passengers (and/or cargo) will benefit from a smoother touchdown, and the aircraft will receive less wear and tear.
The FAA is pleased to provide you this course, designed to help improve your knowledge and skills in this area.
This course is based on content in the FAA’s “Airplane Flying Handbook”. It is an ABRIDGED version of the Chapter 8, "Approaches and Landings" within that book.
THIS ONLINE COURSE IS OFFERED AS INFORMATION ONLY. It is NOT a substitute for authorized flight training. You must take proper training from qualified instructors prior to operating an aircraft.
