nice landing:) but cant you do it with a 747 that is far more nicer:) cya

[EXAir113]

Yes, I can, the PMDG 744, but a 747 doesn't fly the routes and times I like to fly...

[virtualaircanada2458]

Nice!!! How do you hold it to ease the landing? How much pressure do you give to the yoke??

[EXAir113]

Well, it depends on your speed. The trick with the 737 and a lot of other aircraft is to not flare too high and not to bring it in too slow or fast. When you flare high, it looses all it's airspeed and just drops, when you have it too fast, you'll gain altitude and then drop. I usually flare about 5-10 degrees. 10 being the absoulute MAX!

every time with every aircraft i am always crashing no matter how i land how its that possible maby setting but how even my pro friend cant land succesfull but nice landing

[EXAir113]

Must be a virtual airbus rating because even someone with just their PPL will know that landing speeds aren't always the same.

The Vref will be different with every weight, it will not ALWAYS be 145 knts. In mid-sized to large aircraft, there will be a chart which helps the pilots decide the landing speed. The speed can vary with the OAT, aerodrome altitude, weights and flap setting. Trust what VAC4042 is telling you, he's a real pilot and a good friend of mine. ;)

@virtualaircanada2458 haha yeah I bet your getting your cert on the 320, tell me who you're going to be flying for? Fuckin idiot

[virtualaircanada2458]

jesus dude just fuck off. You never drop stuff do you? Im getting my Certs on the A320. Christ sake.

[vac4042]

holy shit bro, you just don't get it. There's no such thing as usually. Unless you fly the same flight, same airborne winds, same number of pax, cargo and fuel every single time.

[virtualaircanada2458]

again, USUALLY it's 145

[vac4042]

it varies by about 1 per every 5.5 passengers(almost 1000 pounds), 1000 pounds of fuel, and cargo, so it is quite a bit.

[virtualaircanada2458]

i know but it doesnt very by alot. USUALLY the landing speed for an A320 is at 145 KIAS.

[vac4042]

and when I said "big" I mean big enough to have these changes, like for example, in the 172 you're not going to have a change in your landing or takeoff speed unless you use a different notch of flaps. Yes the true technical class is medium size.

[vac4042]

Lol there is no "normal landing speed" Vref changes everytime as I said depending on the weight, outside air tempurature, and altitude of the aerodrome.
