christmas morning from victoriaville, qu

Approach seams ok?!?

Wayyyy too high!

[jlab58]

true, but that's the result that is important. i didn't break any wood. you are so judgemental. where's your xmas spirit?

[SeanTK]

Hahaha! You must have really had to dive to the runway for landing. As Jordan said...that's WAYYY too high!

Ey guys comeon. The dude's having fun, he's right wheres your xmas spirit! We dont need to have 2 in on critizing him. Jordan already made it clear enough. Looks like a fun flight.  8-)

I did a few flying myself yesterday also in the christmas spirit....and that didnt go well either.

it's still a challenge to figure the correct approach speed. too slow or too fast. how evaluate the distance to begin going down. i need more practice specially with the low speed flight, very difficult to keep it leveled. fortunately it's just sim.

Same here. I always have trouble with approaches in airliners. Other aircraft, I'm ok...ish!

Practice slowing down as quickly as possible - pull the throttle off and hold the nose level.

I can fly good in airliners, I fly better in props..I find them easier. Just my new problem with airliners is im coming into the approach to fast.

Jets are a whole different ball game from props.

On a Cessna 172, you want to come in at about 70 knots flaps up, 65 knots 20 deg flaps, and 60 knots flaps down.

it seems that i will have a lot to practice the next time i fly, thank you all.
