Flaring and Rollout Help Please! :)

[Guest]

Can somebody explain in a little detail how to do a manual flare and rollout during a manual landing. I cant find any referance in PIC manuals about doing manual landings with Flare and Rollout. Im not even sure what they mean. The way I normally do a manual landing is approach following the Cross when I get to 200 feel I start pulling back on the nose slightly at 25 feet I go competely Idle on throttle. Landing at about 5 degrees its usually pretty smooth. But I still dont understand the flare and rollout terms so if anyone could fill in on these I would appreciate it.

Fly down to the runway full flaps, gear down, Vref+5(no wind) and you VS which is you primary instrument for pitch should be around 700 feet/min. Your pitch attitude on final should be about 2.5 degrees. I f it is not then you have an improper flap confuguration, Vref speed or something else. You should NOT start pulling on the nose at 200 feet! Fly down all the way to 30-20 feet as you hear 30, 20 pull the throttle gently back to idle and gently bring the nose up to about 5 degrees. and hold it there until touch down. Once you touch down deploy the spoilers and fly do not drop the nose to the ground then apply reveresers. Hope that helps. Pedro

Hi PaulThe best advice i could give you is to go fly something smaller first (pardon me if you are an expirienced simmer) but i find as simmers we all get caught up wuth all the goodies of aircraft availible to us, but we never learn the basics of flying first.lol.Build your way up to the 767. Stick with flying the one aircraft for a while that way you can get the feel for it. Real pilots dont jump from a cessna to a jumbo in a day, they also normally only fly the one type, so they get plenty practice. This is what i decided to try , and it works. I know its toooooooo tempting to fly a different aircraft everytime you sit down to the computer. were just so spoiled with FS2002Keep trying!All the bestStu
