It's backwards from what you would casually think. Cut the throttle and descend...
To land you deploy flaps which provides lift but also slows the plane. To keep it flying you add throttle. A plane like a 747 would drop like a rock (in excess of 1500 feet a minute) with full flaps and zero throttle.
While your in the pattern listen to the engines and you can hear them come up every time they lower the flaps further. |
Listen I've flown a lot of planes in my time and even a gyrocopter on video games and what you do to land is hit the brakes and land in the center of the runway it's fucking cake, man.
