In the bottom picture in the RW the nosewheel would be to the right of the centerline.Cheers,- jahman.

Some fsx 2d panels and vc's are designed with the AI and DG in line with the runway centre line as in the BN-2A Islander which makes it a bit better when attempting to land.did a run this morning and almost achieved it, takes quite abit of concentration and practice for me.

Focusing 5 feet in front of the aircraft isn't exactly good technique. When driving, do you stair 5 feet ahead onto the road to keep inside the lines? Actually, I know some folks that do that. Their insurance premiums are relatively high.

Just check with your First Officer: if he's on the right side of the center-line and you're on the left side - life is good! :(

I wouldn't worry at all about keeping the centre line "in the middle of the cockpit". Just keep it dead centre to your eyes. In real flying too, I find that to be by far the best thing to do. As soon as you start worrying about the nosewheel being perhaps a foot to your right, you start over correcting etc... Do the eye line-up and you'll find you'll smack the nosewheel down on the paint most of the time anyway. Keeping the nosewheel right on the paint should be something kept for taxiing, not landing :)

It really isn't necessary to always aim for the nosewheel to come down exactly on the centreline! To be frank it's quite rare. Yes, try to land with your undercarriage astride the centreline simply because that gives you more runway to play with in a cross wind situation. In a strong crosswind just try to land on the runway! Autoland will get you close to or on the centre. And, despite some sim pilots attitudes against it, It is required in your log book at least twice every six months. So, should be practiced.vololiberista

Another reason in the real-world why we don't land directly on the centreline at larger airports is the potential stress to the nosewheel caused by the "bumps" on the centre line lighting area.In a light aircraft aim to land close to the centreline and then correct your path gently using the rudder/brakes once you have landed so that you track on or just beside the centreline before you turn off the runway.Hope this helpsAdam
