Landing

The landing maneuver will start two (2) meters from the ground. The model flares smoothly to a nose-high attitude, dissipating flying speed, then smoothly touches the ground, within the landing zone, with the main wheels first, with no bouncing or changes in heading after touchdown. The nose wheel on a tricycle gear and the tail wheel on a conventional (unless a "three (3) point landing" of mains and tail wheel touching simultaneously is executed) should settle gently to the ground after a brief rollout. The maneuver shall be considered complete once the plane has slowed below flying speed and has rolled straight for 15 meters.
