We will also examine the next most critical phase of our flight, from descent and deceleration to the approach and landing phases, even touching upon what happens when the aircraft arrives safely at the gate.

Flight idle and nose down, which normally produced a 2,000-3,000-feet descent rate, resulted in a 2,000-feet-per-minute climb. We had been lifted above our assigned altitude.” We continued our descent into Great Falls, leaving “the wave” behind and above. We had just been caught by Mother Nature’s roller coaster.

If in this situation, make sure to transition your eyes to inside the flight deck. Icing Icing on the aerofoil disrupts the smooth airflow over the wings that produce lift. This decrease in lift has the potential to cause the aircraft to stall. Conduct a thorough weather briefing prior to the flight.

Once again, no announcements from the flight deck and the flight purser did the job. For this flight, the crew controlled the window shade so for most parts of cruising, the light was in dimmed mode. At this point, we started our descent into Singapore, flying near Malaysia.

Anti-Ice, Rain: flight deck window heat, windshield wipers, probe heat, and anti-ice/de-ice systems that either prevent ice from accumulating on lift generating surfaces and engines, or break the ice off after it’s accumulated. Descent planning can be complicated and needs to be done more than 100 miles from the destination.

The flight deck has to meet certification criteria such as field of vision, ergonomic aspects, and instrumentation. Aircraft have to be in continuous forward motion to create lift and thus possess potentially destructive kinetic energy while in motion. Safe status is only achieved after parking on the ramp.
