September 7, 201312 yr Autoland on the PMDG 777X seems really rough... Like it really doesn't flare at all, When all of the other PMDG aircraft with autoland it's 100% gentle, I can land it manually just as gently as the NGX (Better than the auto land) but if I do a full autoland it's very rough. - - Tommy - -
September 7, 201312 yr Something loose in cockpit.Something tightened in cockpit. Evidence of leak on right main landing gear Evidence removed. TCAS inoperative TCAS always inoperative in OFF mode. Autoland very rough Autoland was not activated. I havn't tried the Autoland yet, might give it a go when I get home tonight.

September 7, 201312 yr Author Alrighty. I had LOC/GS both high lighted in green, Land 3 - - Flare mode activated, still rough. - - Tommy - -

September 7, 201312 yr My auto land can land it better than me :( "For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return." Leonardo da Vinci
September 7, 201312 yr Author @Travis, same for me in the MD-11, 747, not even close on the T7 - NGX - - Tommy - -
September 7, 201312 yr Did you try it without using any weather? Captain Kevin Air Kevin 124 heavy, wind calm, runway 4 left, cleared for take-off. Live streams of my flights here.
September 7, 201312 yr Author Correct, 50 mile visibility - 90* F - No Wind/Turbulence - Light aircraft. - - Tommy - -
September 8, 201312 yr I can't remember which one but one of the manuals states that the method for flaring, unlike the NGX is to fly through 50 feet and only start pitching at 20-30 feet because the aircraft has a tendency to float otherwise. I noticed that when autolanding, the aircraft does this and it looked rough the first time because you look out the front and are convinced that you are going to plough straight into the pavement until an abrupt pitch up. The touchdown was still nice and smooth though. Hope this helps.
September 8, 201312 yr Author You're right! I see now, thanks for clearing this up for me! - - Tommy - -
September 8, 201312 yr Commercial Member Try a single-engine autoland, really cool to execute! Kyle Weber (Private Pilot, ASEL; Flight Test Engineer)Check out my repaints and downloads, all right here on AVSIM
September 8, 201312 yr All 4 autolands, 3 of them near the max published x-wind limits, were uneventful and I can't believe they could be better. I am still to find anything wrong with this T7 regarding autoland, as a matter of fact auto-flight as a whole.... Add to it the brillant modeling of Boeing's FBW and... what can I say?
