Hi! So I was doing a KDFW-KLAX route on an Aeroflot 777-300ER (Don’t ask me why) and I decided to pull off at/around KPHX. When I kicked down the landing gear, I immediately started losing speed, even with NAV, and a set height/speed on. Eventually, my plane turns into a metal gyro ball, spinning i…

The flight physics aren’t designed with this in mind. The simple solution is to keep the aircraft within the flight envelope in flight it as designed.

Questions a plenty… Aircraft weight? Your set speed? VS? Flap position? Spoiler position? Can you provide the replay? It sounds like you stalled so these should all provide the answers, if not then the replay definitely will.

Aircraft weight: Probably a bit too much fuel, but never hurts to pack some extra. Set speed was about ~260kts at FL360 VS: Maybe -500? Flap position: I hadn’t deployed them yet, but was getting ready to. Spoiler position: Same thing. Can I provide the replay?: I am not sure exactly how to do t…

[image] thenewpilot: When I kicked down the landing gear, I immediately started losing speed, even with NAV, I mean if you put your gear down. You losing speed doesn’t surprise me. You stalling also doesn’t surprise me. Maybe don’t “Kick your gear down” Unless that’s a saying for something so…

It is. I meant put down the landing gear.

Well, i wonder what could possibly go wrong with increasing your drag dramatically at whatever cruise or wherever you were at. Does not surprise me that you stalled. And lost speed. Id suggest keeping your gear up. Unless you’re about to land…

I didn’t think that was even a thing.Doesn’t autopilot have control of the aircraft regardless of what happens with the mechanics (gear, flaps, spoilers, etc.?)

Why did you drop your gear at FL360 in an extremely shallow descent?

Was I supposed to be descending at a higher negative VR? like -1000+

You were most likely at a low airspeed, which you made worse by putting your gear down, which you should have never done at FL360… I usually put my gear down when I’m around 7NM out (Once established on the localizer) You can also read this tutorial on how to recover from a stall. [i…
