Tends to float a lot on Landing Flare....

Noticed that this aircraft is quite difficult to put down on the runway without excessive floating!I have no problem with this if the real bird behaves this way. Does anyone know?

No it does not float at all for me, unless you overdo the flare of cause..

hmmm, somethings wrong for me then....full flap 80-85 IAS, power off, even just raising the nose to start the flare causes the aircraft to balloon back up. I must need to bleed some more speed before the flare.

Approach Speed is toooo fast, should be about 65 - 70 KIAS. Try it and see if it works.

Checklist states higher - I am sure! 65 knots would make more sense though based on my landings so far!!!

the real airplane floats like a lot. I fly an older one but flaps 30 at 80mph works well. whatever 80 mph converted to kias should work well for you. Sometimes the airplane will float for what it seems to be 200 ft. Im sure it really doesnt but it feels like it.

FAA: ATP-ME, 737 CA, enough time in the 757/767 to be dangerous 🤠
