Aviation feature where you’d expect lowering standards (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

undercarriage

'aviation feature' is the definition.
(part of a plane)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for undercarriage that I've seen before include "(Aircraft) landing gear" , "Aircraft support" , "part of the aircraft" , "Aircraft's landing gear" , "part of plane" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
