That really does depend on the aircrafts weight ( fuel and passengers or cargo ) and the actual type of aircraft being flown ( a Antonov may hit the tarmac at around 230 kts where as an Embraer my touch down at only 110 kts Approaches are usually flown at around 170-200 knots (again depending on the things mentioned above) Expect to be travelling at around 150-170 knots when you touch down

How safe is Jannus Landing in Saint Petersburg Florida?
Jannus Live, formerly known as Jannus Landing, is a relatively safe place to go. It is located in St. Petersburg, Florida and is a music venue for mid size concerts.
How many engines are on during landing of commercial airplane?
All are on, at ilde. The engines are not turned off to help ajust glidslope angle, as well as to maintain the correct airspeed. Because of the possibility of a missed approach, they are not shut down until the aircraft has parked.
Do commercial jets dump its fuel before landing?
In general: no, not on a normal flight. Any fuel "left over" in the tanks will be used for the next flight. Airliners only dump fuel when they are too heavy to make a safe landing - and this situation only occurs when the landing happens much earlier than planned, such as a diversion or an emergency landing. Not all commercial airliners can dump fuel, some have no option but flying around for a while to "burn off" fuel before being light enough to make the above-mentioned early landing.
How do people travel to Antarctica and survive plane ice landing?
There are no tarmac runways in Antarctica: all runways are ice. Pilots slow the airplanes down to their minimum airspeed in order to maintain lift, and essentially glide or drift slowly onto the ice runways when they land. Note as well, that some airplanes are equipped with skis instead of wheels. All airplanes are non-commercial and are military grade craft, flown by pilots experienced in landing in extraordinary situations.
What One of the main functions of flaps during approach and landing is to?
increase the angle of descent without increasing the airspeed.
Where can one view videos of an aircraft crash landing?
One can watch videos of an aircraft crash landing on Youtube, Gvideo, Dailypicsandflicks, Airdisaster, Break, Courier-journal, Viralviralvideos and Airliners.
What is the stall speed of a Cessna 172?
In landing configuration (full flaps), the stall speed is 40 knots (indicated airspeed). With flaps up it is 48 knots.
Do commercial planes have auto take off and landing?
No.
Average landing speed for commercial airplane?
150 knots
What is the flight path of a landing aircraft in the direction of the runway on center line called?
It's called 'flaring to a landing,' where the nose of the aircraft is brought up, raising angle of attack, lowering airspeed, until the main gear gently touch down on the runway. When speaking exclusively of that portion of the landing path, an aircraft is said to be 'flaring' or 'in the flair.'
What is the landing speed of fighter jet on an aircraft carrier?
"The landing system on an aircraft carrier can stop a 54,000 pound airplane traveling at 150 mph in two seconds." Also, the aircraft carrier is often moving away from the landing aircraft (allowing a greater true air speed for the landing airplane.) Suppose the aircraft carrier is going 15 mph, then the 54,000 pound aircraft can land at a true airspeed of 165 mph.
What are the control characteristices of an aircraft with the cg forward of limits?
For small values forward of the limit the pilot might not notice anything until landing, where the dropping airspeed causes a natural loss of down force from the tail and the loss of ability to flare for landing. The hard hit on the nose gear can cause expensive damage to the airframe.
Why are there flotation devices under airline seats instead of parachutes?
Most commercial airliners would be so hard to exit with a parachute safely that there is little benefit in providing them. The most likely situation from which escape is feasible is if the plane lands in water. After a water landing (since it is somewhat cushioned) there is a higher potential for survivors that, without life vests, might drown before they could be rescued.
