Passengers might notice the plane moving slowly on the tarmac. A Safe Descent About 30 minutes before landing, pilots begin preparations for descent, con figuring flaps and briefing the approach. Pilots must align the aircraft perfectly, control speed and safely touch down, often while dealing with crosswinds.

What I like about the interior of the terminals at this airport is they offer good view of the tarmac which allow great opportunity to take good photos of the aircraft. At this point we started our descent and we can feel the wind shaking our plane quite a bit especially at a lower altitude. What's provided for each passenger ?
