النزول

It has a lot of different meanings, but in the context of navigation I think this would make sense.

هبوط

هبوط، نزول

Example: The plane began its descent.
بدأت أو أخذت الطائرة بالهبوط

descent: the process of going down.

This would make a good equivalent word if the context is about navigation.

But if the context is related about oceanography then the word to choose would be:

منحدر: جرف
Example sentence:

Example: The plane began its descent.
