Clippers' Ultimate Landing Challenge

[Clipper]

Simple....land any commercial jet airliner at SVAS, Armando Schwarck in Venezuela....good luck and if you're up to the challenge, post your pics here!

I think ill give it a shot,pics later

This is easy. Try the same in SESM, Rio Amazonas, Ecuador.

I'll give it a shot, looks like it shouldn't be hard in my jet airliner of choice for this sort of thing: the Boeing 757.

Damn clip, this was a pretty tough one! At first I thought it looked pretty easy, but that wasnt the case.

I started off in something small, an Airbus A319, bad choice. Way too hard to slow down.. the landing speed on that thing (with 15% fuel), is like 100 knots, so I constanly overshot the runway. Then I tried the an MD-11, better choice for sure, though it still wasnt easy!!

Small Airbus A319, bad choice!


Large Mcdonnell Douglas MD-11, better choice! My approach on the edge of the "valley".


I guess you could call this the final.. :p


I didnt actually get a shot of the 'go around', but here I'm on my second approach.


And the touchdown.. VERY high nose to get the landing speed down, and way off centerline, but the touchdown itself, was actually not bad at all.


At this point I had just cut off the engines, as the effect of the reverse thrust was down to a minimum. I had also gotten the nose wheel down.. Now time for braking!!


I actually made it, with runway to spare, about 4 feet..  ;D

My 757 was obviously one-upped so I decided to use my old friend: the Boeing 747 (747-436, G-BNLI to be exact).

Seeing as there is a 500kb limit on these threads, I'll just link to my shots

Taking off (20% fuel and no passengers of course)

Starting my approach

Side-slipping and stalling to decrease speed

Airspeed reduction successful , had to apply thrust to arrest the stall

Touchdown! And hard too!

Just about... stopped...

Yawn! :-/

You call THAT a challenge??

now THIS is a landing challenge!!





Or this one!!


Cheers Theis

[chomp_rock]

Where is that one Theis? My 600HP C172 might do the trick

[Clipper]

I must have forgotten what a bunch of yahoos you simpilots are. Who says "V" doesn't have the worlds greatest pilots!! Ecko, that was impressive!! Doctor Theis if it's no sweat for you show me the money..take a jumbo up. And that strip you're showing is beyond belief. Choppers only! Omag, nice try, you came soo close. I wonder if Ozzy might show up. Chomp that 747 stuff is just plain rude! Nice try.....Joker, no pics, no shtik!

In all fairness, the toughest one I've done so far, is a blind landing in the hangar deck of the carrier off the coast of San Deigo (done in FS 2002), with a Tiger Moth (it has no brakes)
The reason it's blind is because you can't see where you need to touch down until you pass through the rear of the carrier itself,................you really need to hit the very beginning of the actual floor and be off the throttle 'cause if you don't, with no brakes, its almost certain that you will not stop in time before you fall out the bow, to the sea .........it took me many, many tries.......a good second choice to land in that one was the Beech 1900........also very hard.
