What Does ND Stand For?
ND stands for Nose Down
ND, or Nose Down, refers to the aerodynamic position of an aircraft where the nose is angled downward relative to the horizon. This configuration is often used during descent phases of flight to manage altitude and speed effectively. Maintaining an appropriate nose down attitude is crucial for stable flight dynamics and overall aircraft control.
