Flare (ICAO Definition)
Flare- Transition from nose low to nose up attitude just before landing until touchdown. Flare is a sub phase of the landing phase of flight.
Flare
The point during the landing approach in which the pilot gives an increased amount of up elevator to smooth the touchdown of the airplane. Ground effect may result in the aircraft remaining airborne for longer than expected.

flare
The maneuver performed moments before landing in which the nose of an aircraft is pitched up to minimize the touchdown descent rate. Also ensures that the main landing gear touches before the nose wheel in tricycle geared aircraft ...
Flare A maneuver performed during landing in which the nose is raised and the aircraft is held just off the ground to bleed off airspeed.
Flare. (i) A pyrotechnic flare attached to the underside of the wing of an aeroplane to illuminate the ground for a night landing. Parachute flares are used to illuminate targets for night bombing.
Flare The action of "holding the aircraft off", to reduce the descent rate, during landing

Great Circle The shortest line joining two points on the earth's surface ...
Flare cues are primarily dependent on the angle at which the pilot's central vision intersects the ground (or runway) ahead and slightly to the side. Unfortunately, the why of this intercept angle is not very well understood.
The flare must be timed to not zero the descent rate, because the helicopter would be left hanging in the air bleeding RPM, ...

Hanno Fischer took over the works from RFB and created his own company called Fischer Flugmechanik. Their two seat Airfisch 3 and their later model to seat 6 passengers have been a successful design.
The term flare refers to the part of the flight where you are raising the nose, from the nose-down attitude on final approach to the nose-high attitude at touchdown.
Most but not all tricycle-configured aircraft allow for maintaining forward visibility throughout the descent, level off, flare, and touch down.
Flares - Cubes of burning magnesium dumped by aircraft in an attempt to avoid an infrared homing missile. The flare burns immensely hot, and is designed to confuse the infrared seeker on the missile ...
F-15D from the 325 Fighter Wing based in Tyndall AFB, releasing flaresThe single-seat F-15C and two-seat F-15D models entered the Air Force inventory beginning in 1979.
The airplane floats in and flares at such a slow speed, you almost feel like you're landing an ultralight. Stall is tabbed at 39 knots, max weight-with flaps up! ...
Ideally, this speed is adjusted several miles away from the runway, and the pilot holds this speed until just before touchdown, when the plane is flared and slowed to just above stall speed before touching down.
If we approach too fast we use up more runway during the flare and ballooning could occur, the nose wheel will then settle hard maybe causing damage or worse.
The skid has the added advantage of protecting the tail from overzealous students who rotate or flare too aggressively—a fairly easy mistake to make considering the large stabilator surface.
Wait to turn to your final approach until the runway is well to the left on your windshield, and appears almost straight. When you're lined up, try controlling and observing your flare (if you have tower-view capability), ...
A cyclic flare will help prevent excessive decay if the failure occurs at thigh speed. This technique varies with the model helicopter. Pilots should consult and follow the appropriate aircraft Operator's Manual.
