Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to land an aeroplane, including controlling the rate of descent, aligning the plane with runway centreline, maintaining directional control, minimising ballooning and bouncing, and stopping the aeroplane within the available runway length. It also includes completion of after-landing checks and the performance of a mishandled landing/ go-around when required. Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Land aeroplane
- 1.1 Aeroplane is landed at a controlled rate of descent with alignment above the runway centreline, within a specified area, without drift, and with directional control maintained
- 1.2 Aeroplane is stopped within the available runway length
- 1.3 Ballooning and bouncing are minimised and controlled in accordance with established aviation practice
- 1.4 After-landing checks are performed in accordance with approved checklist
- 1.5 Separation with conflicting air and ground traffic is maintained
- 1.6 Runway is vacated when practicable
- 1.7 Landing clearance is obtained at applicable airfields
- 1.8 Wake turbulence is avoided
- 1.9 Weather conditions are monitored
2Manage mishandled landing
- 2.1 Decision to perform go-around is made when safe landing cannot be achieved
- 2.2 Power and configuration are selected to safely control aeroplane
- 2.3 Aeroplane is manoeuvred clear of the ground and after take-off procedures are conducted
- 2.4 Allowance for wind velocity is made during go-around
- 2.5 Wake turbulence is avoided
