Takeoff and Landing Performance Assessment ( TALPA) is a method used by airport operators to determine runway conditions for take-off and landing. It produces a Field Condition report which allows pilots to determine braking action when the runway is not dry. TALPA assessment produces a Runway Condition Code (RWYCC) from 6 to 0, where 6 is Dry ...
Takeoff. Takeoff is the phase of flight in which an aircraft goes through a transition from moving along the ground ( taxiing) to flying in the air, usually starting on a runway. For balloons, helicopters and some specialized fixed-wing aircraft ( VTOL aircraft such as the Harrier ), no runway is needed. Takeoff is the opposite of landing .
A radio-controlled aircraft (often called RC aircraft or RC plane) is a small flying machine that is radio controlled by an operator on the ground using a hand-held radio transmitter. The transmitter continuously communicates with a receiver within the craft that sends signals to servomechanisms (servos) which move the control surfaces based on ...
An EMT Aladin of the German Army. A miniature UAV, small UAV ( SUAV ), or drone [1] is an unmanned aerial vehicle small enough to be man-portable. Smallest UAVs are called micro air vehicle . Miniature UAVs range from micro air vehicles (MAVs) that can be carried by an infantryman, to man-portable UAVs that can be carried and launched like an ...
A typical purpose-designed light STOL aircraft, the Zenith STOL CH 701. This is a list of aircraft which are classified as having Short Takeoff and Landing, or STOL, characteristics. The STOL class excludes vertical takeoff and landing ( VTOL) types, rotorcraft, aerostats and most light aircraft .
A takeoff/go-around switch (TO/GA; / ˈ t oʊ ɡ ə /) is a switch on the autothrottle of modern large aircraft, with two modes: takeoff (TO) and go-around (GA). The mode is dependent on the phase of flight; usually, on approach to land, the autopilot will be set to approach mode, therefore if the TO/GA switch is pressed it will activate the go-around mode of the autothrottle (about 90–92% ...

CTOL. Aircraft landing on a runway. A conventional take-off and landing ( CTOL ), [1] also known as horizontal take-off and landing ( HTOL) is the process whereby conventional fixed-wing aircraft (such as passenger aircraft) take off and land, involving the use of runways. [2]
