Slowing down at a low enough rate to maintain control and fly/land safely, and simultaneously pitching back to increase the angle of attack so you don't stall.

What does a pilot do to slow a plane down for landing?
A pilot will do a combination reducing thrust (throttling back) and changing the aircraft's pitch to achieve the speed required to land.
What is the landing speed of an Airbus a380?
The landing speed of an A 380 is 170 mph.
Which one is higher landing speed or take off speed of an aircraft?
landing
What is the proper landing speed of a huge jet?
The proper landing speed of a huge aircraft is between 250 to 300 kmph. A good landing speed is 280kmph. Over speed in the landing then you may not be able to stop the plane in time.
What is the fastest landing or takeoff of a plane?
When a plane is taking off it should go at a speed at 160 knots before reaching into the air..
What is the TO speed and landing speed for Challenger 870?
Top speed is .83 mach or 631mph.
What is an average landing speed for an F-22?
The average landing speed of a F-22 is 3.05 m/s which is about 10.98 km/hr.
What is the Landing speed of a 747?
The landing speed is 155 knots or more generally from 150 to 160 knots, depending on weight and wind conditions.
How do airplanes slow down to land?
Primarily they throttle back to reduce thrust. But they also usually will use the flaps, lowering the landing gear also increases drag reducing speed, and most large aircraft also have air brakes (spoilers) for reducing speed. Small aircraft may also perform a "forward slip" maneuver. This is where the pilot will use opposite rudder & ailerons to make the aircraft fly a little side-ways. This increases the frontal area of the plane increasing drag & reducing speed.
What of the speed of a landing gear wheel during landing?
Most wheels are not "spun up" prior to landing, and go from zero rpm to that of the plane's touchdown speed almost immediately upon contact with the ground.
How fast does an airliner fly when it's landing?
An approach (landing) speed is determined by the type of plane, weight, weather and the condition of the runway. A heavy 747-400 might have a landing speed of 160 KIAS (knots indicated air speed) or about 185 mph.
Why space shuttle slow its speed on landing?
Because landing at 25,000 km/h is impossible.
