Arrival Procedures
Arrival procedures refer to the steps that pilots and air traffic controllers follow when an aircraft approaches an airport for landing. These procedures ensure a safe and efficient transition from the en-route phase to the landing phase. Pilots receive instructions from air traffic control, which may include altitude changes, speed adjustments, and specific flight paths to follow.
During arrival, pilots must also communicate with the control tower at the destination airport. This communication helps coordinate the landing sequence and manage traffic in the airspace. Adhering to these procedures minimizes the risk of accidents and ensures that all aircraft arrive safely at their designated airports, such as John F. Kennedy International Airport or Los Angeles International Airport.
