Land

[a1]

Don't you agree that on approch to land it is always better to come in a bit high than to come in lower or at the glid slope. i always find it better to comeing high.

I usually (when i do a manual landing ) come in low and fast ... more fun that way

Of course is "better" (among quotes), as if you come too low the probability to bump on something on the ground is higher, and bumping on something hurts.


Of course, to everything a line must be drawn. If you are too high on the glideslope, you'll never land. So, a bit high is better than a bit low, but too high means a go around, and that's alright only as long you have fuel.

Hi!!When we talk about comming on the glide slope is a way for you to bring the airplane safe to the runway.Ofcourse this is a simulator, but if you were on the real life, you would see the diference.If you came to low, then you need engine energy to get to the runway, if you came to high you need to dissipate all that energy and usually you overshut the runway, never mind what your passengers would feel inside the aircaft.And then again there are the regulations.But ofcourse this is a simulator, SO HAVE FUN AND ENJOY!!!! 8-)

Maybe work at coming in mainly on the glideslope?  

I was recently on a gusty crosswind landing in a 737 that I was happy the pilot simply SLAMMED the aircraft onto the runway and stuck it.  :o
