Make low dive after emptying plane, banking roughly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deject

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'make low dive after' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'emptying plane banking roughly' is the wordplay.
'emptying' becomes 'de' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'plane' becomes 'jet' (jet plane).
'banking' is an insertion indicator.
'roughly' becomes 'c' (circa).
'jet' going around 'c' is 'ject'.
'de'+'ject'='DEJECT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for deject that I've seen before include "Discourage" , "Make dispirited" , "Depress" .)
