Compared to standard landings, no-flaps landings require certain adjustments in aircraft handling, such as: Higher approach speeds (5-10 knots faster than normal). Flatter approach angle (due to less drag). You must use proper power management techniques to have a stable approach and landing. Better situational awareness.

Back in the early days of jet airliners, pilots long experienced in more forgiving two- and four-engine, piston-powered prop planes found themselves running out of airspeed, altitude, and ideas on the final approach to landing.

Key Takeaways Start by setting up your approach correctly to ensure you arrive at the threshold perfectly every time. Perfect the approach phase by managing the aircraft’s energy and using references to improve positioning throughout the pattern. The easiest way to achieve this is by flying a stabilized approach.
