Achieving a successful flare, crucial for a "greaser" landing, is a complex maneuver that depends on a stabilized approach, precise energy management, good timing, and gentle, decisive control inputs, ...

No-flap landings require significantly faster approach and touchdown speeds due to reduced lift and drag, resulting in a higher nose pitch attitude that can create optical illusions and a greater ...

Aurora Flight Sciences announced today that the company has been awarded a NASA contract to develop a new guidance, navigation, and control capability aimed at increasing the reliability of unmanned ...

UK investigators believe an increasing tailwind resulted in an Emerald Airlines ATR 72-600’s losing airspeed as it crossed a Liverpool runway threshold in heavy rain, causing the turboprop to make a ...

The NTSB attributed this accident to the pilot’s improper landing flare during a full-down autorotation. A lower-than-normal rotor rpm, faster-than-normal ground run speed, and the subsequent loss of ...

Investigators’ preliminary findings regarding the Endeavor Air regional jet crash at Toronto confirm the initial impression that the aircraft exhibited little flare before the hard landing.
