OWLS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

OWLS is a mnemonic used by general aviation airplane pilots to assess an unprepared surface for a precautionary landing.[1]

Like all mnemonics this check has become part of aviation culture and folklore.

OWLS:[1]

  • Obstacles
  • Wind direction
  • Length of surface
  • Surface condition and type
