Use the 'Page Down' key to decrease thrust and 'G' key to deploy landing gear (for aircraft equipped with retractable gear). Aim to align the aircraft with the runway centerline as you approach. Adjust the flaps (using the '[' and ']' keys) to increase lift and control your descent speed. Finally, gently lower the nose of the aircraft as you touch down, applying brakes smoothly with the 'B' key to come to a stop on the runway.
