A dead-stick landing is a term used to describe an emergency landing made by an aircraft without any power, often due to a malfunction or loss of engine power. The term has been used for many years to describe this type of landing, but there are other phrases that are synonymous with the term. Some of these synonyms include a powerless landing, glide landing, unpowered landing, and chuteless landing. These terms are relatively interchangeable and help to describe the high-stress situation that pilots may find themselves in when they have to make a landing without any power. In these situations, it's essential to remain calm and follow proper protocols to make a successful dead-stick landing.
