You told someone you just need to do like 20 touch and go’s but i do one landing every day because the flight is the main thing not just pumping out a bunch of touch and goes, I think even if you achieve grade 5 you will lose it the next day when you lose 20 landings!! I dont think its subtracting landings in a realistic way. Like literally seems like landings I do make dont matter.

I didn’t even know until you brought this up lol no wonder how weird I felt the other day I was on training server seeing people do touch&go multiple times, like non-stop… I was holding short at the runway and the ATC wouldn’t allow me to depart bc one 757 and one 339 were using both runways to do this and I was literally holding for more than 5-6 minus till I didn’t wanna give a damn, so I entered without that bloody warning from the friends-in-crime ATC and departed myself… omg!!! I was literally flying whole flight and land and on and on… so that I could get to grade 3!!! ummm… I don’t like this
If you did 20 landings 90 days ago, those 20 landings will drop off 90 days after those landings were made. Quite logical? :)

Ya you make a fair point
Nice that’s really cool I wish I had more time
I thought that the 90 day landing thing was removed?
Not for Grade 4 & 5.

That’s not necessarily true, technically you can keep grade 5 as long as you want.

Pattern work doesn’t work for me, and I have no clue why, but I’m trying to get to Expert server, I already have 190 flight hours or so but not enough landings and yeah pattern work landings count as a landing counter in the HUD but not in stats.

Thanks for clarifying.
If you are always doing landing for 90 days straight reaching 180 yeah… sure.
Exactly 2 landings per day.

The dedication is real…
Any landing, touch and go, full stops counts toward the landing 90 days count.
Or just spawn in casual in KLAX on a F18 or 22 and the landing lol
Grade 5 is actually easier to sustain than you think, if you look at it mathematically.
You need to average 2 landings a day and only around 45 mins flying. So do more on days you can to offset the days you can’t each week.
Hope it helps 🫡

Been doing that for years it’s a great strategy lol.
Nah I mean I know that but for some reason the only time landing counts for me is when I land after full flights, pattern work doesn’t work
Ohh, well that’s odd men.
I mean, there’s nothing different on a traffic pattern regarding a landing… regardless is a touch and go or full stop.
Have you contacted @schyllberg for any chance?
