FS 9 King Air 350 pitch trim

Postby WPadgett » Tue Apr 07, 2015 1:15 pm

My FS 9 default King Air 350 doesn't have enough 'up' pitch trim to maintain approach speed. Some back pressure on the yoke is required.

Tried several approach configurations, "Approach Flaps" without power, full nose up trim, "Full Flaps" with power, full nose up trim but neither will hold my desired approach speed of 109 knots KIAS or less. Usual result is too much speed on touchdown, reverse thrust and heavy braking.

All suggestions appreciated.

>have you set correct prop rpm for approach ?<

Thanks Captain.

There is no suggested prop setting for approach, that I can find, in the "Procedures Check List." Prop setting for landing is under "Normal Landing," "When Landing is Assured," "Propeller Levers Full Forward" and "Flaps Full Down." I approach with Props set at 1650 RPM then Props full forward just before Full Flaps.

So, what is the correct rpm for approach? Suggestions?
