New Kayn Story Error

Not sure if anyone has already pointed this out (or if this is the best place to do so) but there is a spelling/word choice error in the new story:

"The beacon signal was pinging wildly. He eased the nacelles around to braking attitude, brought the nose up, and swung in for landing."

Attitude should be altitude.

Other than that, I actually really enjoyed the story, amazing world-building. Adds a lot of depth to a simple set of skins, as most stories lately have been doing. Keep up the excellent work.

Not quite! Attitude is a term used in flight to indicate the direction in which a craft is pointed... or in this case, where the engine nacelles are pointed, since I'm guessing his craft is a lot like a space equivalent of the Osprey where he can angle the engines independent of the main craft body itself.

Basically what he's doing is this.

They could have worded it as "He turned the engine nacelles to retrograde" or something like that... but either way, it gets the point across.
