General aviation pilots are having problems landing their airplanes. According to the insurance industry, landing losses – accidents and incidents in which aircraft are damaged during the landing phase – continue to be a persistent issue. What’s going on here?

Key Takeaways:

- To prevent these incidents, pilots should seek instructor-led training for crosswind techniques, properly manage airspeed, consistently practice go-arounds, and strictly adhere to their personal flying limitations.
