April 22, 20233 yr Hi. I really like this program but I was surprised to see that the landing report didnt tell me my pitch. (it has max overall pitch but not landing pitch) This is surprising considering how many less important parameters its sure to cover. Am I just not finding it, or is this an oversight by the developer?
April 22, 20233 yr Oversight by the dev. Sadly it won't ever be added, since development stopped years ago. 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.
April 23, 20233 yr Author Thanks for letting me know...in the trash it is then...pity, it came that close!
April 23, 20233 yr Please help me to understand how is it important? Airplane pitch is changing based on approach speed and vertical speed . The only way pitch attitude would play any major role at touch down is that pilot don’t exceed one that would cause a tail strike . AoA would more useful for landing than anything Life time flight sim enthusiast, current airplane owner 172P (past C182F).

AoA would more useful for landing than anything Airline pilots learn to always aim at a certain pitch angle (or a certain pitch angle increase) during the flare. For training it could useful therefore, though I doubt that's something that fits into a tool that measures landing performance in regards to safety and comfort. In those cases it's FPM/G-rate and centerline&touchdown zone that should matter and not pitch angle per se, especially since you have to adapt the pitch angle in many cases (wind bursts, sloped runways, flaring too late/too early etc.) For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

April 24, 20233 yr A Pilot's Life is still under development and offers scoring per flight on a decent variety and scope of parameters. For landing it's rate in FPM and G-rate for the composite landing score. It's a very nice program and has me flying all over the world for various airlines that hire me and so takes me to places I would not have considered w/o it, all based on RW routes. It's a little slow to start but improves greatly at a tolerable pace. And I love the scoring piece, though I'm asking the Dev to consider altering the logic slightly. https://www.simbitworld.com Noel System: 9900X3D Noctua NH-D15 G2, MSI Pro 650-P WiFi, G.SKILL 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000, WD NVMe 2Tb x 1, Sabrent NVMe 2Tb x 1, RTX 4090 FE, Corsair RM1000W PSU, Win11 Home, LG Ultra Curved Gsync Ultimate 3440x1440, Phanteks Enthoo Pro Case, TCA Boeing Edition Yoke & TQ, Cessna Trim Wheel, RTSS Framerate Limiter w/ Front Edge Sync.
