August 25, 200223 yr Here's the shot. Northwest A320 landing 27L AT PHL. Just wondering if I went a little over board on my flare for the touchdown...
August 25, 200223 yr Nope, drive that Airbus tail into the ground!!!! :) Muhahaha!--------------Paul Meyerwww.KryptonAir.comwww.LAARTCC.org
August 25, 200223 yr looks normal to me...The only time when you can flare too long is if the runway is short...then you do a controlled crash on the runway without much of a flare and you stop so that the passengers get whip-lash! :DTake careMike
August 25, 200223 yr Looks fine to me. When I am landing a heavy, I usually try to pitch the nose up about 5 to 6 degrees on touchdown.Rob
August 25, 200223 yr However, in the picture, the plane looks about 9 degrees pitched.My guess, a little too high.Brent
August 25, 200223 yr I see A320s all day on app into KDCA. Average approach angle is 2-3 deg, landing flare about 4 to 6. The A320 pitches up more than a 727 and a LOT more than a 737 on flare and TD.JS Jonathan Sacks Dell XPS Gen 4, Pentium IV Northwood extreme 3.8Ghz, 3Ghz RAM, eVGA 7900 GTO, 12 GoFlight modules plus MCP-PRO AP and EFIS, GF pedestal, CH rudder pedals, CH throttle quadrant, 42" LG LED, 24" DELL LCD, Windows XP, FS2004, FSUIPC 3.96 FS Autostart 1.1 (Build 11), FS Navigator 4.6, UT, FE, GE, REX, PMDG, Level-D, PSS, etc.

August 25, 200223 yr I don't know if it's too steep, but you could try a bit higher approach speed.Cheers! :-wavehttp://members.lycos.co.uk/fs2k2/avsim/sig.jpg... under short final 25L [email protected]# 99744757
