Further to my comments in the blog post below, and since the issue came up in tonight's GS, here is a photo and description from Tatiana at Island Air (in response to an email I sent her when I first noticed them while flying commercially a few weeks ago)... The 'front flaps' you saw are most likely slats. Their purpose is very similar to that of flaps -- both improve lift as well as increase drag (so they help you slow down and, once you are slowed down, make it safer for you to fly that slowly). The picture below shows the difference in airflow caused by the slats. (The bottom picture shows a 'slot' which basically means an opening in the wing that sits there permanently; i.e., kind of a forever-extended slat). And, from a fellow ground schooler: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBBZF_3DLCU
