An apparatus 1000 is provided for controlling a movable wing tip device 9 of an aircraft 1, the apparatus comprising a processor 10, a controller (40, figure 3) and an actuator (50, figure 3). The controller 40 is coupled to the actuator 50 to move, or permit to move, the wing tip device 9 in response to receipt of instructions from the processor 10 from a flight configuration to a lift-reducing configuration. This permits the aircraft 1 to descend more effectively. An aircraft 1 comprising such an apparatus and a method of performing a descent in an aircraft 1 are also described.
