The pilot has the speed brake partially extended, allowing the crew to maintain a slightly higher power setting throughout the approach—a technique sometimes used to provide quicker acceleration and more precise control while flying close formation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eAs details of the terrain below begin to emerge through the clouds and the runway comes into view, the pilot’s attention shifts to a constant visual cross-check between the flight lead and the runway ahead.
