April 25, 20224 yr Speaking of lights, I really like this mod. https://flightsim.to/file/12071/new-light
April 25, 20224 yr One of the "tougher" checks you do during Night Qualification is perform a flapless landing with no landing lights on. Which means an unusual pitch angle (more nose up) and no help from your landing lights to gauge height above terrain. More experienced pilots will handle this like a breeze, but I always went for a power-on, fixed V/S-rate, low speed touchdown (did not bother with any kind of flare as the pitch was guaranteeing 2 point landing).

April 25, 20224 yr This reminds me of a funny story. I was coming back for a loooong day of left hand turns in the AOR and was setting up for a night landing in a KC10. As I crossed the threshold, I was so tired that I didn't realize the engineer didn't turn the lights on at the lights on point. The runway lights were pretty bright and they were all I could see. After a couple potatoes, my mind caught up I attempted the ole 80% under flare. I pounded it in firmly. As the ground spoilers zipped to the 2/3 position, I heard a voice say "landing lights, my bad". 😆 Rick D http://g5flyer.tumblr.com/

I've been in the pattern with those guys a lot and they are fast around the pattern or visually appear to be fast. We turned the VFR pattern at 180kts. I loved dropping into small airports between AR for some RADER and VFR pattern work. Rick D http://g5flyer.tumblr.com/

April 25, 20224 yr Reminds me of the night dual I had training to get my PPL. I said the instructor, what if the engine in this C 152 quits now. He said " descend to about 500 Feet AGL, and turn on the landing light. If you don't like what you see, turn it back off"...

I remember Nicotine saying that he can only do the aircraft he owns because it requires some manual placement. I remember at one point a couple donors helped him obtain the Premium Edition of MSFS so he could complete those aircraft. He seems to respond to people on FS.to, and the mod is constantly being tweaked and updated by him.
