Landing Roll (ICAO Definition)
Landing Roll- After touchdown until aircraft exits the landing runway or comes to a stop, whichever occurs first. Landing roll is a sub phase of the landing phase of flight.

 


landing roll - the distance from the point of touchdown to the point where the aircraft can be brought to a stop or exit the runway.
landing sequence - The order in which aircraft are positioned for landing.

landing roll - the distance an aircraft travels on the ground after touchdown to the point it can be stopped or exits to the taxiway.

Landing rolls can be significantly increased on grass runways. If the runway is sloping, this will also have an effect, as well as perhaps confusing your perception at the flair.

The lateral guidance from the ILS Localiser would however be usable right to the end of the landing roll, and hence is used to feed the rudder channel of the autopilot after touchdown.

An uphill runway increases the take off run and a downhill runway increases the landing roll. A upslope of 2% adds 10% to your take off distance and a downslope of 2% decreases it by some 10%.

As you complete your landing roll, you may want to apply your brakes momentarily and change the time to dawn, dusk, or night. Then over to your right you'll see there's an operating lighthouse out on Lake Superior.

If your airplane requires a 1000-foot landing roll, and you are landing on a 2000-foot runway, you should arrange things so that you use the middle two quarters of the runway. That gives you a safety margin at each end.

While gyroplanes allow very short takeoff and landing rolls, it doesn't get you the ability to hover. To do that, you have to be able to spin the rotor system with a powerplant, rather than just let it autorotate.

Landings are similarly simple-flown as slowly as 50 knots with full flaps. The 162 retains reasonable flare with no tendency to drop out from under you, and landing roll can be as short as 650 feet.

This marked the first (and, thankfully, only) instance of an Argosy being involved in an automobile/aircraft incident, with a car driven by Miss Betty Kaufman having just entered the overpass while the Argosy was on it s landing roll.

They also have at the approach end of the runway there can be a displaced threshold (area of the runway used for takeoff, taxi, and landing rollout but not landings) identified by thick, solid, white lines.
