pousodecolagem

Pousodecolagem is a term that appears in Portuguese-language aviation discussions as a way to refer collectively to the flight phases of landing (pouso) and takeoff (decolagem). It is not a standardized or widely used term in formal regulatory contexts, but can be found in informal writing, training materials, or discussions about runway operations and aircraft performance.

Etymology and form variants: the word combines pouso and decolagem, two fundamental flight events. It is sometimes written as pousodecolagem, and other times hyphenated as pouso-decolagem or simply used as two separate words. The lack of a single, official spelling reflects its status as informal shorthand rather than a formal technical term.

Usage and context: in practice, pousodecolagem may be used to discuss topics that encompass both landing and takeoff, such as runway capacity, sequencing of arrivals and departures, or pilot training that addresses both phases. The term is more likely to appear in conversational or pedagogical contexts rather than in regulatory documents, where the separate terms pouso and decolagem, or the combined phrase takeoff and landing, are preferred.

Relation to related concepts: the concept is closely tied to core aviation operations, including takeoff performance, landing approach, braking, thrust management, and air traffic control coordination. It is distinct from other compound terms and should not be confused with formal procedure labels.
