OCR: LANDING APPROACH TRAILING-EDGE FLAPS LEADING-EDGE FLAPS To slow the airliner for landing, the pilot reduces the thrust of the engines, and lowers the trailing-edge flaps to increase drag. The lift force is maintained at such low speeds by extending the leading-edge flaps to increase the wing area.
