Feelthere CRJ is VERy bouncy

Postby jrpilot » Thu Mar 03, 2005 9:25 pm

Does anyone own the Feelthere CRJ and think it is very bouncy when landing...I try and keep my landing speed around 130 (which is very high) so I don't stall with the aircraft since there is no landing speed selectable and when I go to flare just to bring the nose up a foot or two I land and bounce up about 3 feet into the air...this is the only aricraft I own that does this...I would go to their forum but it is down...any help or hints on how to land this aircraft.

The approach speeds for landing flaps are listed in the Wilco folder. Look for a document labeled "CRJ Experience speeds"
130kts isn't that fast, but rather normal for the CRJ. It's not a heavy aircraft - thus wont require slow speeds to insure adequate runway stopping distance
But to your question: Due to its engine placement, the aircraft will pitch up as you retard the throttles and very little backforce on the yoke is required during the flare.

Because of what I described above, the CRJ tends to float during the landing. To avoid consuming a ridiculous amount of runway before you touchdown, you should deliberately undershoot the final stages of the approach so you have the GS needle above the centre.
When you pass 50ft, retard the throttles and keep in mind not to overdo the flare. Oh and don't forget to look up the correct approach speeds  :)

by overshooting the approach do you mean to stay a little low on the ILS needle or to stay with the ILS needle and then go down the runway some more with a flare???

I wrote UNDERshoot ;)

Yes stay a little below the GS during the latter part of the approach.
