Gotta remember to maintain airspeed and angle of attack and weather like downdraft, wind direction and wake turbulence so you don’t stall and also for traffic. He missed these.
I got a full flight sim rig, yoke, pedals, throttles, gauges, you name it... Picked a Cessna 172 and asked my mom to land it...Gave her the video and she read "step 1 - add flaps" She yelled, "Henry wtf are flaps?" Anyways, she went nose to the ground...on the runway, so we're 10% there!
Nice!! When you add flaps the aircraft tends to climb, you'll lose airspeed, your turn must be coordinated otherwise you can cause a stall or spin, when reduce airspeed make sure you are slightly above stalling speed.
How War thunder pilots land Step 1: Add flaps Step 2: Realize you're overspeed Step 3: Rip a flap off while slowing down Step 4: Asymmetric flap extension Step 5: Flip upside down 300 ft from the runway Step 6: Lookup this guy on YT so you can know the difference between Indicated air speed, True air speed and ground displacement speed.
Lower the speed to the green mark . Once the flap is lower it will start pitch up so you need to push down the controls down to control the pitch angle and hold it to maintain the airspeed steady. Lowering of the flap further can reduce the airspeed Dont loose too much of it will over .
Its called round-out. Flare is for big birds. King Airs are NOT big birds. And you dont pitch nose up, you pull pwr few feet above rnwy, and hold the nose up a few degrees as power/energy bleeds, hold it, hold it and touch down.
It's not that easy. Assuming you are familiar with the layout of the cockpit and know the function of each instrument. I have a single engine VFR rating, and I doubt I could land a two engine aircraft.
lol i find it funny on your title as it takes quite a bit of understanding of energy management, depth perception , dealing with potential cross winds, and also knowing when to pull back once in ground effect.
Do you mind if you tell me what plane you’re flying and what airport you’re landing at so I can recreate this in MSFS 2020? Really cool video, keep it up!
Adding flaps would probably be a mistake especially for a beginner. Usually flying without flaps reduces the risks of stalls and there has been incidences where adding flaps in an emergency where a passenger is flying the plane made the passenger uncomfortable with the controls so the air traffic controller told them to retract the flaps
I did an introductory flight about a year ago, and I was told to fly the plane and control the flaps while my instructor would control the throttle and trim. Let’s just say landing is very scary when you know the cost of flight maintenance for a hard landing.
Guys it's easy, you just have to yank the controls a little and then flip a few switches, it's just like the video games 👍 No radio communication, no ILS, no pattern, pretty much just no rules along with somehow knowing the perfect muscle memory to land without dropping it in or bouncing. PERFECT 💀💀 I'm joking btw, it's just funny how simplified it is, it reminds me of when I take my friends flying and try to explain to them what I'm doing 😂
