An algorithm for suboptimal flight paths is used to show the existence of Darboux points on extremals of a fourth-order minimum-fuel horizontal aircraft landing problem; the states are two position coordinates, velocity and heading. It is shown that there is no simple relationship between Darboux points and conjugate points for a special second-order case of capturing a line at constant velocity.
