Usually when landing you want something like 110% of your stall speed, which means that you're not "crashing" (by which I mean stalling). This involves some sort of engine power.
I am not aware of any plane that lands without power outside of an emergency.
- phillc73 11y agoApart from all those thousands of sailplanes people fly every week. They land without power, and very few of those landings would be an emergency.
- pwnna 11y agoYeah that is correct, I was more thinking of commercial flights rather than sailplanes/gliders
- RealCasually 11y agoStaying above stall speed in a descent does not require any power. It is extremely common to perform a "power off" landing in a small plane, and these are often not in emergency cases.
