Landing an aeroplane would be very hard for a complete novice. Normally, a learner pilot would spend at least 20 hours before attempting to fly solo, and even then, the first time a student goes out alone is nerve-racking for the teacher.

Let's assume that you've given this a try and decided that it's not so bad. Let's further assume that you've been talking to someone and they have guided you to an airport. If you can't talk to anyone, or otherwise can't find an airport, consider something flat and unobstructed like a deserted road, beach, farmland, etc.

It's time to land so we must slow down. To do this you must understand that your wing generates lift (the force that keeps you in the air) in direct proportion to the speed of the air flowing over it and the angle (angle of attack) that it has with that airflow. If you decrease one (airspeed) you must increase the other (angle of attack) to generate the proper amount of lift.

So pull the throttle back about half way, and gradually pull back on the control wheel without climbing. You will see the airspeed begin to slow. If take another look at that airspeed indicator, you will notice concentric green and white arcs.The white arc brings up a discussion of flaps which we won't get into. Look at the green arc. The bottom of it is the slowest airspeed that the aircraft will fly without the use of flaps which will be just fine for your landing.

On a typical light aircraft this speed will be around 70 knots. To safely fly the approach, pilots add a fudge factor which is typically 30%. In this case you'll target around 90 knots for your approach. Once you reach 90 knots lower the nose a little bit. If you lower the nose too much the airspeed will be too high, not enough and the airspeed will be too low. This will begin a controlled descent, or "glidepath" to the ground. If your aircraft has that little black knob labeled "Carb heat" pull it all the way out.This prevents your carburetor from icing up (a bad thing). If your aircraft has retractable landing gear, look for a switch with a small tire on it and move it to the down position. If you can't find it, don't worry about it. You don't care if the airplane ever flies again when you're done.

You just want to walk away. If you have one of those propeller controls (smaller black knob next to the throttle) push it all the way in. Roll the wings left or right to keep the aircraft lined up with the landing surface. You want your target spot on the runway to stay in a fixed spot in the windshield. If it seems to be going under the aircraft (you're getting high), pull the power back some more and make an adjustment with your nose (lower it) to maintain your speed. If your target spot seems to be going away from you or rising in the window (you're getting low), push the throttle in (increase power) and adjust the aircraft's nose (raise it) to maintain your airspeed.As you cross the threshold of the runway you should be close to the ground. At this point you'll want to pull the throttle all the way out and pull back just a little bit to keep the nose from dropping. Once the aircraft makes contact with the surface, it may bounce. Resist the urge to fight the bounce. Just hold the nose steady and it will eventually stay on the surface. If you're an ace, and your wheels are down and in one piece, let go of the controls and use your feet on the pedals to steer. If you push on the tops of both peddles you will apply the brakes. The right pedal top controls the right brake; the left pedal top controls the left brake. Once you come to a stop, look for that red knob labeled "mixture" and pull it all the way out. This will kill the engine. Turn the key, if there is one, to off. Change your pants and exit the aircraft.

Congratulations! Any landing you can walk away from is a good one!

wonderful

My brothers and sisters congratulations to me, I am just entering a plane for the first time

That senior colleague must be proud of you!

Congrats!

Thank you

Hope no be EDO Airline you dey drive?

Wadafeck? You just made landing a bird look so easy now, fellow! Congratulations. I'll appreciate pilots more with this your explanation.
And I hope you get your wings soon.

And you posted it here. You are a lier. Not a pilot. This thread is made up

Am still a student!... don't worry when I graduate I will take you around the world where you've never been to...

We're in Ghana now! My friend (student also) will be the one to fly us back to Kano this night...... Pls wish us a safe journey cus we are still learners...
