An airplane takes off from a runway. It is weightless and moving through the air. The pilots guide the plane through the air by using the instruments and their experience. And finally, the plane touches down on the runway.

The landing is one of the most important parts of the flight. The pilots must be precise in their flying, and must know the characteristics of the runway they are landing on. The plane must stop quickly, so it does not skid or spin. If everything goes correctly, the passengers will disembark safely, and the journey will come to an end.
