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

Available techniques for confined-area approach and landing. 27

Wind correction techniques on approach and landing.

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

Go-around/rejected landing.

Collision hazards.

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

Distractions, task prioritization, loss of situational awareness, or disorientation.

Gear position in an amphibious airplane.

Landing in an area or in conditions where a takeoff/climb may not be possible.

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

Make radio calls as appropriate.

Ensure that the landing gear and water rudders are retracted, if applicable.

Consider the landing surface, visual attitude references, water depth, and collision hazards and select the proper approach and landing path.

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

Maintain a stabilized approach and recommended airspeed with gust factor applied, ±5 knots.

Make smooth, timely, and correct power and control adjustments to maintain proper attitude and rate of descent to touchdown.

Touch down smoothly at the recommended airspeed and pitch attitude, beyond and within 100 feet of a specified point/area.

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