August 24, 200817 yr I have been frustrated trying to land this bird without running off the end of the runway. For some reason I can't slow down enough! Even with full flaps, gear down and engines idle, I hit the runway at 180 kts. Assuming I am reading the tables correctly, I estimate my total landing weight at 437000 lbs with a Vref of 130 kts. Does anyone else have this problem?Any tips or tricks welcome!AirbusPS Maybe I should just stick with my airbus!:-) Al Kaupa Digital Storm purchased 8/17/2011; Win7x64: Asus P8P67 Deluxe; Intel i7 2600K@3,9 GHZ; nVidia GTX 560Ti; 8GB DDR3 1600 Corsair Dominator; Power Corsair HX 750W; Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD; 300GB WD VelociRaptor; 1TB Seagate.
