Conventional Take-off and Landing is the process whereby conventional aircraft (such as passenger aircraft) take off and land, involving the use of runways. The aircraft will taxi along the runway until its rotation speed is reached, then climb into the air. During landings, the aircraft will touch the ground while still traveling at a significant forward velocity.

With seaplanes, replace runway and ground with water.
