LHBP Ferihegy Visual Approach and Landing

Boeing 737 visual approach and landing.


4000 feet - time to go visual, 31L. Or maybe a bit late?
Take the F/O's seat and enjoy this 'instant' visual approach way down to Ferihegy.

where did you get this airplane? who produced it? wilco?

[rennes6]

@FSXHowTo It's the default 737 in FS9.

[FSX404]

Do you have any actual flight training and flight time, I'm just curious?

[rennes6]

No, I don't have any.

I was really into flight simulation 2-3 years ago - I learned a lot of things, spoke to real pilots, joined a VA and on almost every evening, I was on VATSIM. That changed when I started to have more work to do so nowadays I only watch aviation videos and completely abandoned MSFS. I hope someday it will change.

I really want to achieve PPL, but prices here in Hungary are very high, compared to the US. A PPL near my place costs about 10 000 bucks excluding training books.

@rennes6 really? i thought fsx carries fs9 with it o.0. i like the 737-300 but i only have a few freeware 737s. but they dont have a virtual cockpit

I know that is even more expensive everywhere else to fly than in the US, and even here I'm really struggling to get my commercial and instructor ratings, even so it will take me another 1.5 to 2 years.

I've had to sacrifice almost everything else in my life to be able to fly, and if I had a wife and kids, I might as well forget it.

You seem to have a pretty good grasp for someone who never flew, I hope you get a chance to pursue the aviation field one day. I wish you good luck.

I did however get a Beech 1900 pilot walk me though the steps of an approach and the flare. WOW is one word, usually we reduce power completely over the runway and glide the plane on to the runway.

In the Beech 1900, you actually hold some power in until you level off, a few seconds before the actual touchdown, then once in ground effect you reduce the whole power and glide it on to the runway, otherwise you're going to have a rough landing.

Little neuances like that :)

The approach airspeeds do change in hte airliners, I couldn't even begin to guess what an actuall approach in a 737 is like without havein an actual 737 pilot next to me correcting me.

I do have quite a few flight hours in single prop engines including complex and high preformance aircraft, so I do know how important that approach speed is even to a T182T. Even 5 kts makes a difference of 500+ feet in landing distance. I can only imagine what it does to a 150,000 pound airplane.

[rennes6]

Agreed.

Speed control: I made this video a long time ago therefore I cannot recall the exact details. As I see, I set the bug to Vfref approx 120 kts and I landed on the bug setting. Last phase of the app was made Vref + +-7 as I see.

[FSX404]

No problem, it's OK to come in steep, there are some airports that even have a glideslope of 5.5 degrees, almost twice of he normal, or usual, glideslope.

As long as you control your airspeed properly a even a 6 degree glideslope shouldnt be a problem.

Your touchdown was really nice, but while watching, I was really trying to see your approach speed control, I couldn't see it well, so I can't really comment on the rest of theapproach other than it looked like a good approach.
