Three-point Landing: When the three wheels (or two wheels and tailskid) of an aeroplane touch down simultaneously on landing.
Thrust: The force exerted by a propeller along its thrustline.
A three-point landing is the best, but if it isn't quite there, it doesn't do anything. It just rolls along and, as it slows down, the tail comes down.
Normal landings are done by touching all three wheels down at the same time in a three-point landing. This method does allow the shortest landing distance but can be difficult to carry out in crosswinds.[5] ...
you have the plane at its minimum flying speed and just five or six inches above the runway, advance the elevator control to the "Full Climb" position. This will cause the tail to drop and the plane will settle to the ground in a three-point landing.
