Fsx manual landing

You may want to practise these in a light aircraft doing traffic circuits like real world pilots do , before tackling this in a big jet.

Find my spec and settings in "About me" on my profile. You're even able to keep the auto throttle on and engage reverse thrust. For the Boeings I believe auto throttle needs to be disengaged or the reverse thrust won't activate for you.

From videos I've seen the pilot will disengage autopilot at or around ft. Weather being a factor of course. So it's good that you want to know how to land manually. I would suggest you look up real world cockpit approach videos of the planes you fly and you will most likely be able to see or hear the procedures used for certain aircraft. Start with the , it will be easier than the or Do what you know to do already for an Autoland.

Disconnect the AP by feet and don't touch anything. VERY slight corrections in pitch and roll no rudder needed unless there's wind. The yoke should be neutral by default because the aircraft will be in trim.

Try over and over until it goes well. Each time disconnect the AP a couple hundred feet higher above the runway elevation. Then the next thing is to do it with AT off. The only thing you'll need to do is smoothly retard the levers during the flare. Ideally you want to touchdown when the levers reach the idle stop.

Finally try the same thing but on the On the you can leave the AT on, it will drive the levers to idle at 25ft radio, 2 seconds after touchdown it will disconnect itself. In fact, and just as a side note, it might be even possible depends on the aircraft to deploy reversers with levers at idle and the aircraft still in the air, see here. My real life aviation and flight simulation videos [English and Spanish].

I was looking for the picture of an Airbus I believe or with reversers deployed and still a couple feet above the runway. I couldn't find it I don't want to like a stick in the mud, but you really need to go jump in a Cherokee or and learn the basics of a stabilized approach, being on your numbers, and flaring. I was going to post the same bit of advice. Learn how to hand fly small aircraft proficiently at first before trying to learn to fly or land an airliner.

That's how it's done in real life and that's probably the easiest way to do it in the sim as well. As far as the PMDG and T7, both can be landed with the auto throttles on until touch down and reverses deployed without having to manually disconnect the AT button. The approach plate will say this. Sometimes, the world from above seems too beautiful, too wonderful, too distant for human eyes to see …" Charles A. Lindbergh, That's the reason to sim IMO, to actually fly the bird.

Don't get me wrong, I use AP quite a bit. Especially in high workload planes, but to autoland isn't fun at all. Not to mention that autolands are rarely employed.

Obviously depends on the carrier and location but usually it's a certification and "keeping current" type of practice. I do believe it's more common outside the US. Other than that, practice. It's easy to learn how to fly the smaller slow planes to the runway and land smooth. The faster they fly the quicker they get away from you.

The for example can often have a pretty fast approach. The and are sometimes around knots. It can float and give you problems if you aren't doing everything right. I find the Dash 8 by Majestic to be a lot easier to land despite people saying it's the hardest. The RealAir Duke is easy to land too. No matter what it's a practice thing. If I don't fly a difficult plane for a few weeks then my landings are rusty. People tend to jump from one plane to another in FS and that only compounds the problem.

I fly three planes only in FS. All handing much differently. I will also say that when I started years ago with MSFS I had nothing but aggravation when using a conventional joystick.

As soon as I switched to a yoke with separate rudder pedals it was like night and day. Fortunately you are using an aircraft that has "autoland" , that makes finding your correct approach speeds easy. Having the correct airspeeds during approach and landing make the whole process easier and neater , also it.

Below right on the radar is an overlay gauge that I created for my panel , the top portion is a fixed table of airspeeds vs weight ,. Guys thanks a lot for all the input on manual landing. It was really what I needed to start landing by hand properly.

Also note that on small planes I do always land manually without problems. It was the heavies that worried me. Your help is very appreciated. I'll soon be trying it out. The wind correction depends, but usually it's a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 20 additional knots, typically it's half of the steady headwind component plus the full gust if any.

This is "ideal" conditions of course, in real life it will vary. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. Sign up for a new account in our community. It's easy! Already have an account?

I'm newbie in this forum.

Now I'm working on Landing A without Autopilot means manually. Here are the problems that I've faced. But I don't know what to do next? How to decrease Vertical speed so that I reach at threshold? How to remain in Center-line of runway without GPS? Sometimes, I remain Aircraft nose straight but not get the right landing. OR If anyone knows the right method to land manually, I request him to please tell me. I'll be grateful to him. Regards, Happpy. Join Date Jun Posts I do face the same issue..

But you can try descending the a to ft while you are in 20 nm with flap1 and knots. You can use 3D view and the left windscreen mid is almost inline with your runway This is basically from my very little experience of flying a in fsx Sent from my GT-N using Tapatalk. You could try using the ILS, even just to get the indicators up, then you can manually follow them down until you have the runway in sight.

Also, knots 10nm out is probably a bit slow, you could go a bit faster. You don't have to execute the non-precision approach with constant wings level and constant vertical and air speed. Look outside, use the PAPI lights 2 reds and 2 white is what you want , and continually monitor and decide if you need to adjust pitch, bank or throttle.

Plenty of hand flying in the A with a manual landing and a copilot giving you speed, flaps, gear down, etc instructions. Posts I'm usually about ft above the runway altitude at 10nm out, at kts. That sets me up for an decent at about fpm with a little modifications during the approach for slowing down to about kts on touchdown. A little flare at about ft above the runway and I usually get around fpm on touchdown.

What is 'missing' is the 'trick' to manual landings. As you approach, and slow, you will tend to 'dive' and your 'profile' will be all wrong ie: you will land on nose wheel.

So to avoid that AND to fly in at fpm you need to add as much as 4. Forget the flare. Concentrate on landing it on main wheels.
