and
'Fiellandung'

Tim,

the first word you are looking for is - as already mentioned - "Umschulung". Properly explained as achieving the type rating on a new a/c. The second one I suspect is "Ziellandung" which I loosely translate as "precision landing" or "point landing" - my information is that the pilot in question had to touch down on a target marking to proof his ability to bring down the machine "spot on". Typically, a certain distance was acceptable but too much and you failed.
