Hi guys, got another problem i hope you can help out with, i was on approach to isd's lirf in pmdg's 738 i dissconnected the ap hand flew the approach down to mins, was about to flare and the plane just pulled off to the right and wrecked the flight. This has happened before at egll 27r in wilcos a320 but never in my 738. Any ideas on whats gone wrong here, Thanks for your help as alwaysChris

The fault would appear to be yours, I'm afraid! You said you disconnected the AP just before landing. Did you listen to the given rwy wind strength and direction? Sounds like you had a cross wind landing for which you did not compensate. The other thing you must take into account is to make sure that the AP hdg is lined up with you intended direction of flight. On some a/c the control column will not neutralise. Thus if the AP has made a left bank and disconnects at that moment the a/c will continue in that direction. So make sure your control surfaces are neutral before disconnecting.Vololiberista

Thanks for the pointers Vololiberista, i'll be sure to check these things out on my next flight!Regards,Chris

I've had some really horrible flights due to turbulence when landing. I think it was mainly wake turbulence, but sometimes it seems like FS is creating a "wind shear" event. I don't really get into the finer points of the weather engine settings/performance, but you might try the "no weather" settings and no turbulence if the problem seems to be repeatable at a certain approach.scott s..

There is an option in FSUIPC to keep the wind speed at runway level (and a little way above, of course) down to a specified amount which can be beneficial in circumstances of strong cross-wind, especially for lighter aircraft. On the other hand, it can sometimes make it harder to land neatly because if you are slithering down an ILS and your aircraft is compensating for the cross-wind that is suddenly reduced, you can find yourself veering substantially just before touchdown. Its a double-edged sword.John

Was there an aircraft that landed recently before you? If so, are you running Active Sky? Active Sky will simulate wake turbulence off the AI aircraft that can be a little extreme if you have it set to 100%.

Yes there was as it happens and that never crossed my mind! I'll check the settings in ASA.Thanks for your help guys,Chris
