Landing Performance (Transport Category) Safety Factors.
Discuss the regulations (14 CFR Part 121) concerning landing and go-around performance.
The aviation industry has regulations concerning aircraft safety when landing. In one such regulation concerns go-around conditions. For safety purposes, a pilot should not land when he or she is not completely satisfied that it is safe to land hence go-around. A stabilized approach during landing ensures maintenance of a constant angle glide towards the runway. A pilot’s judgment is crucial.
For safety landing, a runway should be at least 6,000 ft (1,800 m) in length is usually satisfactory for aircraft weights below roughly 200,000 lb (91,000 kg).
Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO) in air traffic safety and landing uses it to point on a runway. It is essential to balance airport capacity and system efficiency with a safe arrival. Requirements include being that a pilot makes his or her judgment that doesn’t compromise safety. A pilot should be familiar with all information on LAHSO at their destination airport. Data on landing performance is also crucial.
A wet runway in landing safety is a condition where the surface of the track is covered with visible water. In contrast, a contaminated runway is a condition whereby 25% or more of the surface contains stagnant water.
Engineered Materials Arresting Systems (EMAS) contributes to landing safety. They are specialized materials installed on the runway surface and rapidly stops any aircraft that moves onto it ensuring it lands safety. In some cases, they are fit to avert an overrun affecting other runways.
CRM issues are essential in aircraft safety, and they contribute to 70 percent to landing flight accidents and incidents. Company policies, ethical leadership, and teamwork in communication are significant issues. Flight preparation and planning, workload management all ensure smooth running. In summary, relieving burdens and disruptions help provide mileposts for proper time management hence reduce working errors.
