Why does an airliner’s descent take so much longer than it’s ascent?
“… first it descends from cruising 36000 feet to 11000 and maintains it for 15 miles, then it further descends to say 6000 feet, makes 90 degree turn flies another few miles then descends to 2000 feet, makes another 60 degrees turn and flies until it reaches with the runway extended centerline, finally it turns another 20 degrees to align with the runway and then maintains 2000 feet another couple miles until specific point from which 3 degree glideslope will bring him right onto runway edge.” ~ Andrew Novikov
