GM1 UAM.POL.VCA.135 Landing

ED Decision 2025/010/R

LANDING PROCEDURE

(a) The certified landing performance of a VCA may allow for a conventional landing (ConvL) procedure or a vertical landing (VL) procedure.

The ConvL path starts at the landing decision point (LDP) and ends at the point where the aircraft reaches a stop at the FATO on the ground (after which it may taxi).

The VL path might be required when landing at a vertiport in a congested environment.
The operator may choose to have, from a point along the approach after the LDP, a pure vertical trajectory.

(b) In certain cases, in addition to ConvL or VL, the certified performance of a VCA may allow for ConvL with a roll-on.
