Bounce Landing: Causes and
Recovery Techniques Causes of Bounce Landing (Part 1)
• 1-Windshear: • Sudden changes in wind speed or direction near the ground. • Disrupts the aircraft’s descent profile.
• 2-Thermal Activity: • Rising columns of warm air causing localized turbulence. • Can lift the aircraft unexpectedly.
• 3-Excessive Sink Rate:
• High descent rate near the runway. • Leads to hard touchdown and bounce if not managed. • 4. Late Flare Initiation:
Causes of • • Delaying the nose-up maneuver near the runway. Results in insufficient energy dissipation. Bounce • 5. Incorrect Flare Technique: Landing • Poor timing or execution of flare. • Mismanagement of pitch angle can cause (Part 2) bounce.
• 6. Excessive Airspeed: • High touchdown speed causes the aircraft to float. • Lift generated by speed leads to rebound. Causes of Bounce Landing (Part 3)
• 7. Power-On Touchdown: • Engines not set to idle during touchdown. • Prevents ground spoilers from deploying. • Reduces drag, making it harder for the aircraft to settle. Recovery Techniques: Light Bounce • Objective: Stabilize the aircraft and continue landing.
• 1. Maintain normal landing pitch
attitude: • Do not increase pitch to avoid tailstrike. • Ensure pitch does not drop further.
• 2. Keep thrust levers at idle.
• 3. Allow aircraft to settle naturally. • 4. Be prepared for increased landing distance. • Objective: Initiate a go-around to avoid runway overrun.
Recovery • 1. Maintain normal landing pitch attitude:
Techniques: • Prevent over-pitching to avoid tailstrike.
High • • 2. Initiate a go-around: Advance thrust levers to go-around power. Bounce • Ignore takeoff configuration warnings.
• 3. Maintain current landing configuration:
• Do not retract gear or adjust flaps.
• 4. Be ready for possible second touchdown:
• Ensure pitch is properly managed. • 1. Commitment for Full-Stop Landing: • After thrust reversers are deployed, complete landing. • A go-around may no longer be Additional possible.
Considerations • 2. Avoid Reversing
Decisions: • Once a go-around is initiated, do not revert to landing. • Reduces risk of overruns or loss of control.
