October 3, 20205 yr Bad weather is a great opportunity for fun 🙂 As I saw the strong winds in South of France, I decided to fly my favorite Cessna 152 in Tarbes (LFBT), home of the TBM. Not only I enjoyed the crosswind approaches, but the 152 can fly so slowly that landing with an airspeed of 50-60 kts (2 notches of flaps) with a face wind of 30-40 kts gives a ground speed of 20-30 kts !! Very short landings 😄 If you want to see the video, it is here: https://youtu.be/ZRDLT8Wpthk (you can see the 3 touchdown at 1'10, at 3'20 and at 4'12) I enjoyed the way it is simulated, very realistic in my opinion.

October 4, 20205 yr Author Yes, that was fun, I didn't know the C152 could land that short... My Web Site
October 4, 20205 yr Yes, indeed - while training in a 152 decades ago, I flew backwards on one particular day. Headwinds were pretty high, so we transitioned to slow-flight with full flaps and indeed, were able to watch the terrain move forward of the main gear... Randall Rocke

I almost did the same some years ago in real life in C152 with my instructor (in 1990 if I remember well), strong headwind, full flaps and engine power to stay at the same place. Headwind was not strong enough to make me move backward 🙂 Because I did it in real life, I can tell how MSFS is realistic here. Edited October 4, 20205 yr by Rocky My Web Site
