Front landing gear

1

Whenever I do a smooth landing I tilt my phone back for the front gear but it just drops
Edit: on the a320, Crj and 737

So may I ask what you asking for?

Nothing really, I’m just stating

Yeah I just landed in Jackson in a 757 and kinda buttered it and the nose dropped the most likely thing that happened was you were a little too slow on landing so it slammed down due to lack of speed and gravity pulling it

Increase your trim.

What trim% do you use? Do you deploy the reversers 100% immediately after touchdown? Do you use the parking brake to slow down instead of the autobrake?

I am asking because these are all factors that could cause this.

When I touch down I set the reverse thrust at 100

And use med auto

This is something you’d want to prevent. Try gradually increasing the reversers to a max of at/about 70/75%.

Also wait just a second before doing so :)

In terms of the autobrakes, base the setting on the exit you’d want to take and the aircraft weight.

Ok thanks for the tip :)

Sure! Also check out some of the landing tutorials on IF’s official YouTube channel. Some good resources to be found there ;)

I’d like to mention that the A320 has always smashed its nose gear, so even the butteriest pilots smash the A320 nose 💀 😂

The real reason the nose gear drops, is because of the spoilers.

No, the actual reason the gear drops is gravity.

It happen to me alot what i do to coulter this is more upwards trim, less reverse thrust like 60 to 75 % depending on the environment and runways. Also i delay reverse thrust like 2 to 3 second after landing NOT IMMEDIATELY ON TOUCHDOWN.

Hope this help with the issue.

The lighter aircraft are slightly harder due to their weight distribution. It just takes some practice; however, these aircraft are not made for buttering; they are made to land, and that’s it.

Lol, Science time 🥴

Why haven’t I ever appeared? I think we should find out the problem and practice more.

I definitely do not know what you mean

When I land, the front landing gear will not be smashed down, and it will be gently grounded.
