March 4, 201214 yr Greased. What a wonderful landing! Loved how well he recovered the tail kicking out at 0:10 too :( Sam Nicholson - UK Only just got back in to flight simming and Avsim after a year or so - pardon me whilst I find my feet again!

March 4, 201214 yr I'll wait to see if the other pilots chime in with what I'm thinking. Chris Miller
March 4, 201214 yr I'll wait to see if the other pilots chime in with what I'm thinking.Yes, it was a nice approach and touchdown but, IMHO, maybe just a tad longer than it should be. If you want to nit pick, the perfect approach and landing would probably have him touching down about 1000' sooner. AMD 7800X3D, RTX 4090, 42" LG C3 OLED 4K TV/Monitor

Looks like a normally executed landing to me.To really judge whether the landing was made "by the book" you would need to have an instrument view, he could have been too slow, too fast, a bit low or high and all sorts of whatnots.As both a pilot and a videographer, the look of the landing is good because the video is in great quality and showing great colours! :( Ed OcampoStaff ReviewerAVSIM Online[email protected]Fly DC Jets
March 6, 201214 yr Southwest pilots are cowboys. On a different note, looking at the chart of ALB, he stopped that bird on a dime. He touched down (from my best interpretation) abeam Mike and exited on Bravo...must've been light as a feather :( .

Usually containing 5000 pounds of fuel.....or just a bit more. They can do 2 more attempts after a missed approach, then the fuel situation is dire.
