Content: Landing
Pilots should always exercise extreme caution when landing a plane to protect themselves and their aircraft, however they may have to be extra careful when landing a low wing plane. Because the wings of a low wing aircraft are so close to the ground, pilots must be absolutely certain that they are avoiding all obstacles that may be on the ground. Colliding with a taxiway light or a tie-down as you are attempting to land a low wing plane could damage the wings. Fortunately, pilots that fly high wing aircrafts do not have to worry about this as much because the wings are much higher off of the ground. The Pilot’s View
One of the best parts about being a pilot is getting to see the world from an entirely new angle. But unfortunately, many pilots find that they are unable to get a good look at the world below if they are flying a low wing plane. This is because the wings on this type of aircraft block the view of the ground, so pilots can only clearly see what’s in front and above them. However, you won’t run into this problem with a high wing plane. Pilots will have an unobstructed view of the world below, so if this is important to you, choose an aircraft with high wings. Safety
As a pilot, you probably try to avoid thinking of the dangers that flying, but it’s important to think about these things so you can prepare for the worst case scenario.
