ACS AA.III.B

A stabilized approach, including energy management concepts.

Effects of atmospheric conditions, including wind, on approach and landing performance.

Wind correction techniques on approach and landing.

Runway markings and lighting.

Selection of a runway or approach path and touchdown area based on aircraft limitations, available distance, surface conditions, and wind.

Wake turbulence.

Go-around/rejected landing. 20

Land and hold short operations (LAHSO).

Collision hazards.

Low altitude maneuvering, including stall, spin, or controlled flight into terrain (CFIT).

Distractions, loss of situational awareness, incorrect airport surface approach and landing, or improper task management.

Coordinate with crew, if applicable, and complete the appropriate checklist(s).

Make radio calls as appropriate.

Maintain a ground track that ensures the desired traffic pattern flown takes into consideration obstructions and air traffic control (ATC) or evaluator instructions.

Ensure the airplane is aligned with the correct/assigned runway or landing surface.

Scan the runway or landing surface and adjoining area for traffic and obstructions.

Select a suitable touchdown point considering wind, landing surface, and obstructions.

Establish the recommended approach and landing configuration and airspeed, ±5 knots, and adjust pitch attitude and power as required to maintain a stabilized approach.

Maintain directional control and appropriate crosswind correction throughout the approach and landing.

Make smooth, timely, and correct control application before, during, and after touchdown.

Touch down with the runway centerline between the main landing gear at the appropriate speed and pitch attitude at the runway aiming point markings -250/+500 feet, or where there are no runway markings 750 to 1,500 feet from the approach threshold of the runway (ASEL, AMEL).

During round out and touchdown contact the water at the proper pitch attitude within 200 feet beyond a specified point (ASES, AMES). In addition, for AMES, the touchdown is within the first one-third of the water landing area.

Decelerate to taxi speed (20 knots or less on dry pavement, 10 knots or less on contaminated pavement) to within the calculated landing distance plus 25% for the actual conditions with the runway centerline between the main landing gear (At least one landing) (ASEL, AMEL).

Use spoilers, prop reverse, thrust reverse, wheel brakes, and other drag/braking devices, as appropriate to safely slow the airplane. (At least one landing to a full stop).

Execute a timely go-around if the approach cannot be made within the tolerances specified above or for any other condition that may result in an unsafe approach or landing.

Use runway incursion avoidance procedures, if applicable.
