Finalinflygning, also known as final approach, is a critical phase in the flight of an aircraft, occurring just before landing. It begins when the aircraft is aligned with the runway and descends from the decision height to the runway surface. The primary objective of the final approach is to safely guide the aircraft to a smooth touchdown and subsequent taxi to the gate.

The final approach is typically conducted at a low altitude and speed, allowing the pilot to make precise adjustments to the aircraft's trajectory. The approach path is carefully planned and monitored using various navigation aids, such as the Instrument Landing System (ILS) or Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). These systems provide accurate guidance and help ensure that the aircraft remains on the intended path.

During the final approach, the pilot must maintain a constant speed and altitude, while also monitoring the aircraft's systems and weather conditions. The approach is often divided into several segments, including the initial approach, intermediate approach, and final approach segments. Each segment has specific altitude and speed requirements, which must be strictly adhered to.

The final approach is a high-stress phase of flight, as any deviation from the planned path or failure to maintain the required altitude and speed can result in a missed approach or even a crash. Therefore, pilots undergo extensive training and practice to ensure they are well-prepared to handle any challenges that may arise during this critical phase of flight.
