Then it became obvious that feathers are for flying and down is for "down".

So therefore it is logical to conclude that Gooses have 2 types of feathers ,one
for flying and one for landing.

There is more to it than that. Not only does flying require up and
down, they have to be in the right place or the craft will be unstable.
This is why most conventional aircraft have a tail that pushes down,
to counteract the wings that push up. Push-ups are tiring, and after
doing push-ups I have to lie down. If a plane had to do that all the
time we'd never get anywhere, so the down and the up are both put on the
plane. The down is on the tail (when you fall down, you fall on your
tail) and the up is on the wings.

Canard aircraft have only "up" surfaces, which is why only unstable
people fly them. They were obviously designed by unstable people, since
the name "canard" means duck, which is what you should do when you
encounter one of them. Real ducks, of course, have down and up, very
similar to gooses and geese. When they are on the ground, walk up to a
goose and watch its head. It goes down and up.

One of the ways airlines thought of for saving money was to eliminate
the pillows they give to passengers. I guess they figured that if they
had less down, their up would be more efficient. Of course this didn't
happen, which is typical of the results when a bean counter plays the
part of aeronautical engineer. The first effect was that the passengers
became unstable, and then the airline became unstable.

Down is very important for flying - not just for landing.
