What happens after landing?

Answer 1

taxi to parking The Main Landing Gear absorbs the engergy and stops the descent of the aircraft. The Main Wheels spin up to speed which is detected by the flight computer. At main wheel spin-up or at Nose Wheel touchdown, the auto-spoilers are deployed. Some aircraft have automatic brakes that apply at the same time without input from the pilot. If not installed, one of the flight crew depresses the brakes. The flight crew reduces the engine throttles and selects Thrust Reversers and then re-applies engine power to reduce the velocity of the aircraft. As the aicraft slows to below 80 knots, the crew usually retracts the flaps. The spoilers will automatically retract below a set speed limit. The crew should have clearance for a taxi turn-off. If not, he has to stop the a/c and call tower for instructions. The aircraft is taxiied to a gate with the necessary stops as directed. The crew locates the gate and follows the instructions of the marshall who directs them into the exact parking location. While parking at the gate, the crew begins to shut down the engines. After the a/c is parked, the crew sets the parking brake and the ground personel chocks the wheels. The crew ensures the engines have run the require time at idle before shutting them down in order to prevent damage due to too rapid cooling. The Ground Crew attaches power and ground air and then the crew begins to shut down hydraulics, electrical and engines. One flight crew gets up and unlocks the cabin door. The last thing they do is they check instruments and record any maintenance problems in the Logbook. They may pull up information (Fault codes) from the on-board computer and record specific info such as component that has a problem and data.
