Endings drawing near
Final approaches are the last segment of an aircraft's descent before landing, when the plane is aligned with the runway and committed to touchdown.
Air traffic control clears pilots for final approach once preceding aircraft have cleared the runway.
Figuratively, any endeavor nearing completion: The project is on final approach.
