  • $\begingroup$ This is a very broad question. Most aircraft require no certification for performing a steep approach. Airport requirements and pilot considerations vary widely with the situation. What industry sector are you considering in your question? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Usually a steep approach means they are avoiding an obstacle or have been asked by ATC to "make it short". A steep approach ends in a normal landing, if you are hitting the ground any harder than you do normally then you are performing the technique wrong. Speed can be managed in the approach so you are steep, but not fast, and it ends in a flare/touchdown just like any other landing. There are no certification requirements, but some aircraft are prohibited from slips or slips in certain configurations (like with full flaps). $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ The three questions are rather loosely related, which is bad format for this site. Voting to close as too broad. $\endgroup$
