Airbus flaps fail, how do you land with speed constraints?

[G7USL]

Are you being serious? just because you can land your Microsoft simulator do you think that has any reflection of reality?

 

A flaps up landing is a serious event in a Boeing /Airbus or any other airliner. Your vref will be incredibly high, if you are fortunate enough to bring 60+ tonnes of metal to a stop before an overun you still have to deal with red hot brakes and a potential fire.

No flaps on the Concorde! They adopt a steep AoA to slow down.  Needs a lot of skill but, then again Concorde Pilots were a bit special. lol

Haha, true! But Concorde is a totally different beast

I only know of a couple of addons that have a fairly realistic simulation of stopping distances/brake overheating,fade within FSX.

 

For the 737 your best option is the NGX

 

For Airbus you will have to wait for fslabs, the only bus that accurately simulates brake performance under high temps & failures is for FS9 only.

Was that AoA aimed at slowing down or at creating sufficient lift with speed decreasing anyway?

 

Anyhoo, the Fokkers 70/100 are able to take off in clean configuration during normal operations (except for those wheels sticking out ... ). They may have a better chance to land with flaps retracted, me thinks.

I am using the Jeehell FMGS airbus cockpit builder suite (free) not too sure if it simulates brakes correctly.

 

Where do you guys look up braking distances based on the configuration of the aircraft?

Either in the QRH or use TOPCAT.

 

TOPCAT does a very good job replicating onboard laptop performance software, you can also input failures that will affect your landing distance.
