Thanks for helping to clarify. I misspoke to a degree about the approach. Refinement is always welcomed.
No problem. You will hear people say it is a controlled crash, and it kind of is. When they are coming in they are just goosing the throttle here and there adjusting a little this way and that as the plane sinks towards the flight deck.
When the pilots came in after night landing and took off their helmets, their hair was often matted down with perspiration and the armpits, back, and crotch of their flights suits were dark with perspiration.
I always assumed if their crotches were dark, it was perspiration, but I guess one could never tell!
