43. The system is now directing us to descend to 1,820 m. Again, we'll ignore this for now.
44. The system is now directing us to descend to 1,020 m. We'll follow along.
45. We're on the assigned course and in a slow descent. The weather conditions demand constant attention to the instruments, in particular the ADI and Altimeter.
46. The system has automatically switched to "Landing" mode, which is indicated on the HUD. We turn to a heading of 220.
47. Having entered the glidepath, constantly monitor your aircrafts position. Lower the gear by pressing "G" and confirm the gear is down and locked by checking the Mechanical Devices Indicator. Flaps are lowered automatically along with the gear. Press "RALT L" twice to turn on the landing light on the nose gear.
48. The ILS director bars indicate deviation from the ILS approach. Use coordinated control input to maintain the ILS bars and the director circle in the center of the display.
49. Maintain 270 km/h to the inner marker.
50. Visual contact with the ground. Very poor visibility. Reduce speed to 240 km/h for touchdown.
51. Threshold. Flare with smooth back stick pressure.
52. Touchdown. Release the braking chute by pressing "P" and engage the wheel brakes by pressing "W".
53. This concludes the Su-27 introduction and navigation flight. Refer to the Flight Manual for more detailed information on the aircrafts systems.
54. Remember this tip for making course corrections: the yellow arrow should be between your current heading and the white double arrow.
55. Turn off the landing light by pressing "RAlt L" and the navigation lights by pressing "RCtrl L". Spool down the engines by setting the throttle to Idle and then pressing "RShift END".
56. Using the HUD and other flight instruments allows you maintain the assigned flight plan and safely land the aircraft even under difficult conditions. This concludes this lesson. Press the "ESC" key to exit the lesson.
