So you like buttering/greasing? I challenge you to the exact opposite. This ‘competition’ will put your gear and passengers to the test. The aim of the competition is to slam onto that runway as hard as you can, without crashing ofcourse.
The Details
Server: Casual
Airport: KSAN - San Diego
Aircraft: 737-800orA320(Any livery)
Date & Time: *2020-11-30T18:00:00Z
Plan:Participants will spawn in, a group chat will be created. You will then be instructed to pushback and taxi, there will be time spacing between each aircraft. A single pattern will be done, with one landing. Pilots will attempt to land their aircraft as hard as possible, before taxing back to parking and awaiting further instructions
Sign-ups.
Gates will be assigned closer to the event, if the player outcome is satisfactory. Reply to this thread as follows: @Josh_Tomaz (Your username) | B737-800 (Your aircraft choice)
Correct me if I’m wrong, but purely judging by your @name, I reckon your touchdown will be as smooth as mountain biking downhill. I’m just joking… I’ve seen you land before, your landings are smooth-ish 😉
Basically, the flare maneuvre should be initiated to reduce VS from approx. 400-900 ft (depending on A/C) to approx. 100-200 fpm just before touchdown. I know big airliners want 0 fpm, but that’s nearly imposssible. On average about 200 fpm (is a standard landing). But, in the event of a wet runway, a firm contact is required so a harder landing (~ 400 fpm) should be your aim.
(Sorry @Hardlanding_Hussain, I know that was probably more information that you needed or wanted, but at least now you know 😁)
