WSC Approaches and Landings

Go back to the main Weight-Shift Control Aircraft Flight Page.

Approaches and landings are critical maneuvers and require the skills built from basic flight maneuvers, ground reference maneuvers, and airport traffic patterns. A proper approach is required for a proper roundout and touchdown. With the large number of environmental variables the pilot must consider, in addition to the skill to judge aircraft speed, descent rate, and distance above the ground, landing is normally the last basic maneuver the student learns before solo.

Approaches and landings will be first discussed with the fundamentals of a normal approach and landing in calm winds on a large hard-surfaced runway. This will provide the basis for specific power-on, crosswind, and steep approach maneuvers, as well as other types of approaches and landings that WSC commonly encounter.


Flight Literacy Recommends

Rod Machado's Private Pilot Handbook -Flight Literacy recommends Rod Machado's products because he takes what is normally dry and tedious and transforms it with his characteristic humor, helping to keep you engaged and to retain the information longer. (see all of Rod Machado's Products).
