As the airspeed is more or less constant, the only way of compensating the higher coefficient of lift derived from the lowered flaps, thus keeping lift constant, is to reduce the AoA pitching the nose down. In most cases that I know, it's an automatic reaction of the plane, that was trimmed for no-flaps... | |
