 • 
Effects of atmospheric conditions, including wind, on approach and landing performance
   
 • 
Wind correction techniques on approach and landing

Risk Management:
   
 • 
Selection of runway based on pilot capability, airplane performance and limitations, available distance, and wind
   
 • 
Effects of:
     
 • 
Crosswind
     
 • 
Windshear
     
 • 
Tailwind
     
 • 
Wake turbulence
     
 • 
Runway surface/condition
   
 • 
Planning for:
     
 • 
Go-around and rejected landing
     
 • 
Land and hold short operations (LAHSO)
   
 • 
Collision hazards, to include aircraft, terrain, obstacles, wires, vehicles, persons, and

 • 
Low altitude maneuvering including stall, spin, or CFIT
   
 • 
Distractions, loss of situational awareness, and/or improper task management

Skills:
   
 • 
Complete the appropriate checklist
   
 • 
Make radio calls as appropriate
   
 • 
Ensure the airplane is aligned with the correct/assigned runway
   
 • 
Scan the landing runway and adjoining area for traffic and obstructions
   
 • 
Select and aim for a suitable touchdown point considering the wind, landing surface, and
obstructions
   
 • 
Establish the recommended approach and landing configuration and airspeed, and adjust
pitch attitude and power as required to maintain a stabilized approach.
   
 • 
Maintain manufacturer’s published airspeed or in its absence not more than 1.3 VSO, +10/-5 knots with gust factor applied
   
 • 
Maintain crosswind correction and directional control throughout the approach and landing
   
 • 
Make smooth, timely, and correct control application during the round out and touchdown
   
 • 
Touch down at a proper pitch attitude, within 200 feet beyond or on the specified point, threshold markings or runway numbers, with no side drift, minimum float, and with the airplane’s longitudinal axis aligned with and over runway centerline
   
 • 
Use manufacturer’s recommended procedures for airplane configuration and braking
   
 • 
Execute a timely go-around if the approach cannot be made within the tolerances specified above or for any other condition that may result in an unsafe approach or landing
   
 • 
Utilize runway incursion avoidance procedures
