According to the FAA Safety Team (FAASTeam), a stable approach is defined as one in which the pilot establishes and maintains a constant angle glidepath toward a predetermined point on the landing runway. Even with this knowledge, pilots continue to engage in behavior that culminates in unstable approaches.

If you’re on a non-precision or precision approach, understanding MDA (Minimum Descent Altitude) and DA (Decision Altitude) is incredibly important.

Key Takeaways Bounced landings can result from excessive speed, improper flare, or high descent rates. A bounced landing is a condition where the aircraft lands on the runway, but instead of rolling on the surface after touchdown, it rebounds/bounces off the ground. The excess speed causes the aircraft to bounce on the runway surface.
