Before setting up for landing pilots follow checklists. The pilot puts the aircraft in a landing configuration. To accomplish this, the throttle is set and the flaps are set to keep the right rate of descent and glide slope all the way down to the runway. On landing configuration It is very normal for pilots to use power to gain or lose altitude and trade altitude for airspeed. Prior to landing the pilot makes one final check to make sure the aircraft is ready to land, specifically the landing gear down. This is all done while listening to air traffic control and following approach plates.
