February 25, 20233 yr Yeah they over run, go around try again and then get it down next time. Ground effect is a big problem.

In the Fenix, my landings were all over the place. In P3D I flew the PMDG for years, and it was the same, had no problem getting smooth landings every time. Yeah, that's the same for me and also always have been on P3D, though I've mastered the Fenix now with my abovementioned technique, which makes landing almost automatic for me.

Some other developers that do that get slayed by the punters for taking too long. It very much depends on who the developer is as to whether they get cut that slack or not. David Porrett

That's not entirely correct and a bit oversimplified. While centerline and touchdown zone has priority, ignoring the flare and touching down with 600 FPM on maximum landing weight and consequently breaking your nosegear and dying in a firestorm (this happened in Russia a couple of years ago) is not really an option either.

Not to mention, 600 FPM will usually have the aircraft taken to maintenace for a checkup.

You ask any Pilot they will say they do not care about landing rate. They get a hard landing, a print out, gear gets checked, a talking to possibly re training no pilot will think about it during landing or briefs etc. what incident was that because I do not remember only one I do is the one that had a lightening strike and electrics failure etc
February 25, 20233 yr There's not even a way to know what the landing rate is in the real world. It's all about technique, but in the real world you have the added benefit of depth perception and g forces to help you out. Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you. It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.
February 25, 20233 yr People still can't land the plane properly?? It's not hard. Easier than a Boeing.

That's because in real life there's a good chance you break your nose gear and set your plane on fire with a landing like that. Boeing airliners are designed for 600 FPM landings as the maximum value, with 360 FPM when above the maximum landing weight. I mean I probably wouldn't "accept" a landing either that has a high chance of destroying the airplane. For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord.
