Oops landing!

Featured Replies

Ouch! It hurts to watch. Such a beautiful plane. I'll land like that in the sim quite a bit when my approach is horrible and I think no matter what I gotta land. Go arounds in the sim are so boring, but better safe than sorry in real life.

Oof!  That was hard and bouncy.

My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.

Looked pretty good to me. 😃

At least they walked away from it! 🤨

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

That sink rate was very telling 😬. This is where stabilized approach criteria comes in handy. It's very easy to get pulled into the "make it work" black hole and sometimes it's hard to get out. There are times where your sink rate may be higher, for example, steep approaches. Either way, the sink rate should be controlled enough to adjust back to the normal landing picture and stabilized approach criteria. As stated above, they walked away from it and hopefully not a large hit to the pocket.

That might just be what the doctor should order. to be honest. Hopefully his quick rise to aviation internet-fame is enough to make him re-consider wild approaches like this.

This situation showcases a pilot who acted recklessly and irresponsibly. His license should be revoked. As mentioned by @G550flyer, they did not adhere to stabilized approach criteria and had no understanding of when to perform a go-around in either VFR or IFR conditions. It is disheartening.
