Aircraft with fixed wings cannot stand still in the air, unless we are talking about VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) aircraft. Lift is created by air flowing around the wing. Too little forward speed, and the wing will stall (loose lift).
Pilots must go through airport charts and relevant documentation for unfamiliar airports. Pre-flight inspections include physical checks, cockpit controls and flight software confirmation, and reviewing the aircraft's Technical Log Book.
If at a certain altitude (200ft for example), the pilots are unable to see the runway, they must discontinue the approach. Different runways have differing minimum visibility requirements for landing. Fog, mist, smoke, dust storms, snow and rain can all reduce visibility to below the minimum required for landing.
