YYZ - Then called Toronto Malton.
What does "on the flare" mean?
[edit] I don't get it
What was the point of doing the flares? Do flares often cause disasters? Thanks. AstroHurricane001(Talk+Contribs+Ubx) 18:36, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- Flaring is a very important maneuvre, it has to be done in every landing. Read the article Landing, especially the part "For aircraft or birds, landing is generally accomplished by gradually tapering down airspeed and lift. The first phase is the flare, where the rate of descent will be reduced by adopting a nose-up attitude...".
- The problem with this flight was the early deployment of the spoilers, that caused a sudden loss of lift on the wings.--Vittau 05:17, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
