Which is not a position of Absolute Speed?

• A. Take Off
• B. Flight Transition
• C. Figure 4
• D. Landing Phase

Answer: (D)

Absolute Speed positions are specific reference points on the speed profile used for analysis. Take Off and Flight Transition are clearly defined parts of that profile where speed is measured at known points, and Figure 4 represents another labeled point on the diagram used for reference. The Landing Phase, by contrast, is a broader phase during which the aircraft decelerates and descends toward the runway; it isn’t one of the defined reference points on the Absolute Speed diagram. So, the Landing Phase is not a position of Absolute Speed.
