CTOL is an acronym for Conventional Take-off and Landing, and 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.

Seaplanes, instead of using runways, use water.
