Thanks for the help and tips. I'll be practicing them for a while.

First time posting here, a co-worker from work recommended me to this site for some help on using FSX. It's a great site to help me further enjoy playing FSX and get the most out of it. I've been using FSX off-and-on for the past few months, but lately I've been using it more and more, and I do prefer some realism when using it. I've got the taxing and take-offs down somewhat, but my landings typically are more "dropping out of the sky" than a smooth, competent attempt. My main issues are (1) finding out the correct distance from the runway to start decending, (2) how I decend, and (3) trying to land too close and too high from the runway. Pretty much every attempt I've made and just (like I said) fall from the sky. I've been flying the Cessna Skyhawk as I feel it is perfect for speed and ease of use for my limited knowledge, if that will help in any tips and info. I also use the in-game ATC for my flights as well as the GPS (if it helps). All help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
