Re: This is becoming the norm and makes me happy
Very nice landing Sergio. I seem to have a problem getting any of the lighter a/c or the GA a/c to and under -100. I'm consistently in the -150 range. I have a lot better landing performance with the airliner type a/c.....go figure

Re: This is becoming the norm and makes me happy
I'm the other way around. The smaller the airplane, the softer the landing. I've been toying with the Aerosoft buses and I haven't been able to put one down below 400 yet.

Re: This is becoming the norm and makes me happy
That a/c has pissed me off a number of times. Seems to be very touchy on approach speeds. It either comes in fast or it drops right out from under you. And that darn auto throttle kicking in at max thrust on occasion doesn't help.Norberto Rivera wrote:I'm the other way around. The smaller the airplane, the softer the landing.

Re: This is becoming the norm and makes me happy
This was the Wilco flavor so not the best version. The landing was not as soft as Sergio's, but it was dead center and I'll take -98 any day and twice on Sundays. The day is fast approaching...

Now my question is who was actually piloting the airplane to achieve numbers as these? I sure know it wasn't Bert.
