2nd part of my translation ^^ She watched the plane fly almost directly above the house, and saw the shape of the wings and the cone of brightness which the landing light of the plane projected before it. The noise of the engine was loud now - not just a distant buzz - but a heavy, churning sound. Elle observa l’avion qui volait presque tout juste au-dessus de la maison et vît l’ombre des ailes ainsi que le cône de lumière émit par les phares d’atterrissage projeté par ce dernier d’atterrir. Le bruit de l’appareil fût à fort - et non un simple bourdonnement - mais lourd et bruyant. Surely, it would wake the household, she thought, but when the plane had drooped down on to the airstrip and the engine faded, the house was still in silence. A tout les coups, cela réveillerait le propriétaire de la maison pensait-elle, mais quand l’avion descendît sur la piste et fit son atterrissage, la maison resta silencieuse.

She watched the plane fly almost directly above the house, and saw the shape of the wings and the cone of brightness which the landing light of the plane projected before it. The noise of the engine was loud now - not just a distant buzz - but a heavy, churning sound.

Surely, it would wake the household, she thought, but when as the plane had drooped down onto the airstrip and the engine faded, the house was still in silence.

 

I think 'as' works better with the final phrase "the house was still in silence".

Rule 1: In general, use onto as one word to mean “on top of,” “to a position on,” “upon.”
