Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Get clearance to land and have the runway in sight and alignment.

   At this point you can see the runway, so now we need to prepare the aircraft for landing.
   
   Usually the auto-throttle is on and the speed hold button is glowing, if not turn it on. ,,,,, At the speed you're going, this pitch should make you decent efficient. , Now it's up to you, depending on how far away from the runway you are by this time, you can either continue descent slowly or you can pitch even more upward to level your flight.
   
   If you level off you will be very low but you won't be far from the runway, keep flying steady until over the runway, then drop the nose to slowly touch down. , You should come to a steady stop out 200 feet (61.0 m) before the runway ends.
