How to use "Force down" in context?
The phrase "force down" can be misleading. When referring to an airplane's engines, "force down" means to keep the airplane at a constant altitude. For a car, force down means to push down on the gas pedal to slow the car down.
There are two main reasons why you might want to force down an airplane's engines: to avoid a stall and to maintain altitude.
If the airplane is flying at a high altitude, the air is thin and the pressure is low. This can cause the airplane to stall, which is when the wings stop working and the airplane falls to the ground.
