This is normal, and required. Otherwise planes couldn't fly. The wings need the uplift of the air floating over and beneath the wings. The angle is low and most passengers don't recognize that the plane isn't aligned 90 degrees horizontally.

The plane tilt is defined as the angle between the plane and the horizontal.
The tilt -- based on its inventors and a book on landing gear design -- is to reduce the touchdown drag loads (spin-up force), which in turn allows for lighter structures.
Q: What are the odds of being in a plane crash? A: According to the officials, the odds of an airplane crashing are 1 in 11 million. It means flying in a plane is much safer than traveling in a car.
The way air moves around the wings gives the airplane lift. The shape of the wings helps with lift, too. Weight is the force that pulls the airplane toward Earth. Airplanes are built so that their weight is spread from front to back.
During a belly landing, there is normally extensive damage to the airplane. Belly landings carry the risk that the aircraft may flip over, disintegrate, or catch fire if it lands too fast or too hard.
Pilots walk around the aircraft to ensure that the aircraft's exterior is safe and secure. Pilots are looking for various problems such as: Loose parts. Fluid Leaks, such as hydraulic or fuel.
The most common reason is that there are no airstrips or airports on many of the small islands, so if a plane had to make an emergency landing, it would be difficult to find a place to land. Additionally, the Pacific Ocean is vast and remote, so if a plane were to go down, it would be very difficult to find.
You might be wondering, is turbulence strong enough to cause a plane to crash? The answer is: it's extremely rare. Modern aircraft are designed to withstand turbulence and continue flying safely. In fact, planes undergo rigorous testing to ensure they can endure the forces of turbulence.
However, statistically speaking, a seat close to an exit in the front or rear, or a middle seat in the back third of the plane offers the lowest fatality rate. That said, flying is still the safest form of transport.
Statistics show that the middle seats in the rear of an aircraft historically have the highest survival rates. This is based on a study of aircraft accidents in the last 35 years.
The ailerons raise and lower the wings. The pilot controls the roll of the plane by raising one aileron or the other with a control wheel. Turning the control wheel clockwise raises the right aileron and lowers the left aileron, which rolls the aircraft to the right. The rudder works to control the yaw of the plane.
