What was your flaps setting? Give me your weight, the airport you’re landing at, and I’ll give you your Vapp

Full (40), ~50% load, Christchurch Runway 02
Yeah. Very true.
I think the 767,717, 747, and C17 are the only planes that shouldn’t be put in a community vote of “this or that”. It should just be done as it’s been a long time coming.

I support this the c17 dose need a mayjor rework and some features to it like reverse thrust while in air like with the c130 working ramps like the c130 working side doors like the c130 better lights along with a cockpit

All depends on aircraft weight, for aircrafts flap setting, as the C-17 has a high AOA, purposely designed, to be flown by all military pilots despite their flying background, hence the centre stick it’s equipped with too.
Realistically the models physics are a bit out, from RL. However usually 15-25% good for landing 120-140kts. A hard landing in the moose is a good landing.

I’m sure most of you have seen it but Sam Eckholm has a great video on the C-17.

Yes, though it was a bit underwhelming for me, I had firsthand experience on the moose for 5 years.
