I took about a year or so off from flying, and suddenly realize that my big plane landing skills are suddenly at 0 again, and I was wondering what route or routes if I get bored, would be a good one to practice landing my larger aircraft again?

Since they are local to me, Ontario (KONT) and Los Angeles (LAX) make a good paring. Take off west out of KONT, get a little elevation and setup for the approach into KLAX. Head west out of KLAX out over the water, turn east a ways, make another u-turn and setup to land at KONT. A lot of practice in a small amount of time!Or if you're looking for a little longer flight, try Phoenix to Los Angeles. That way you can get above 10,000' and 250kts and make a real approach.Since i like to fly IFR, as in I follow roads, having I-10 nearby means I won't get lost... :(

To/From KLCK / KSAW (Air Force bases)10,000+ foot runways, little traffic. light scenery loads...

Frankfurt (EDDF) to Karlsruhe Badne-Baden (EDSB). This is where I live. Lufthansa makes pilot training on my home airport in summer. Also the A380 landed there, so there´s a plenty of space. EDSB has a 10040ft long runway and ILS on both ends. One ILS is capable of CAT IIIb.

If it is having enough runway length you are concerned about, then here's a list of places the Space Shuttle landed at, these runways, by dint of that mission, needing to be fairly long:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_space_shuttle_landing_runwaysIf on the other hand it is a challenge you are after, on a short runway that is not necessarily ILS-equipped, then St Maarten or Toncontin are the places to try, although make sure you have the approach plates for them and stick the autobrake on full too, because there are some tricky aspects to both approaches.If you use real world weather and want to do high Cat landings, go for somewhere in Europe, because they are far more often down to minimums than places such as the continental US.If you want to use unusual approach systems other than the typical PAPI lights and ILS, check out some Russian airfields, where the tri-colour approach light system is still in widespread use, although you will probably only find it on airports you download and not on the default FS airfields (see the cheekily-named www.avsim.rus website for downloading some of those). In case you don't know how that one works; it uses a single light that is amber if you are above the glide slope, green when you are on the glide slope and red if you are below it. Keep that light green and you are in the pipe.Some other things to consider: make sure your aircraft is at landing weight in order to keep your reference speed as low as it can be (Topcat recommended for that). The secret to a good landing is a good approach, so get your aircraft gear and flaps down and stable on the reference speed at least five miles out, because if you do that, it will practically land itself, with you only having to judge the flare. Don't forget to arm the spoilers too, and in case you forgot, F2 is the reverse thrust command! Al
