Little question if I may : Why before landing one flap goes permanently up and down ? It's the firsts time that I see this. Thanks for your kind answer
That would be the flaperon which acts as a flap/aileron. The main purpose of this would be to increase the available lift on the wing. As well as this, it’s also designed to respond to respond to roll commands made by the pilot through the yoke/stick.
Big aircraft or not,it's only when you're on approach to landing you realise how small we are,great view and video.
Fantastic footage Danny 😊used to live in bkk so know this approach well
