Some problems concerning steep approach landings and in particular flight control, are discussed. The flight control problem was one of the main reasons the extreme requirements of vertical landing was relaxed, and why, with respect to flight equipment and flight methods, little difference is to be found between steep landing and conventional jet landing. Although all equipment necessary for steep landing is available, STOL traffic will be limited to approach angles of 6 deg, for economic reasons.
