BlipOnTheRadar,
Exactly my point in my earlier post. It is a guaranteed way to ensure it works EVERY time. There really is no standard way to approach each landing because every landing is differnt (wind, weight, surface, a/c etc.)
By using this method the a/c literally stops flying and "gives up" being airborne. All the pilot has to do is make sure it is at the right height above the ground when this stage happens.
