Key Takeaways Start by setting up your approach correctly to ensure you arrive at the threshold perfectly every time. You can only begin improving the touchdown if you’ve mastered positioning your aircraft above the runway threshold correctly. Flying at 60 knots? So, what is a stabilized approach? A target airspeed of around 1.4

In the Cessna 172S Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH), the landing distance decreases by 10% for every 9 knots of headwind. For the Cessna 172, landing distance increases by 10% for every 2 knots of tailwind. If it prevents you from landing close to the threshold, a short runway becomes even shorter. Choose an aiming point.

However, the increased drag might make it impossible to take off again. On a normal landing, you’d pull the power over the threshold, begin your roundout, and flare around 10 feet AGL. When crossing the threshold, start reducing the power. This does two things: it keeps the load on the wings and increases drag.

V MO on the 767 is between 340-360 knots (depending on aircraft serial number). When an aircraft exceeds M MO , a shock wave forms over the wing causing increased drag, buffeting, and possible loss of control.
