Landings for grade 2

[Frostybanana]

Hey guys,
Lately I have been trying really hard to get landings for grade 2. I have 17 landings and I think I need 25 landings for grade 2. I have meet all of the grade 2 requirements except for the lanndings. Does anyone know how to get more landings faster? Please let me me know. Thanks!

Try pattern at any airport.

[Frostybanana]

Thanks for replying! Do you have a spicific airport for me to try, and how do you pattern?

If you need help with patterns or anything else you can use the #tutorials section. https://community.infiniteflight.com/t/remaining-in-the-pattern-tutorial/42567?u=brandon_sandstrom
Here is an awesome tutorial on patterns. Don’t only do patterns though, fly the world and become a better pilot. It always helps to relax and not rush to the next grade. Learn the rules and fly different aircraft. These will help you become the best pilot you can be.

Patterns are basically a series of touch and goes. Take off from a runway, make left or right traffic, do a touch and go, repeat.

Here it is.
Try your home airport.

How to fly a (visual) pattern

A pattern can be flown in different ways. First of all, you will be cleared to fly a left or right hand pattern. This is straightforward: if you are cleared to make a left hand pattern all your turns will be to the left and if you are cleared to fly a right hand pattern all your turns will be to the right. To inform the tower that you want to remain in the pattern you will communicate when you request take off: “callsign XXX ready for take off runway XX, remaining in the pattern” What does a …

I’m going on casual to rack up landings right now near KMIA. There are lots of airports around and the terrain is mostly flat. Pick a starting point and just fly around!

Just go to any airport and do a ton of T&G’s. You should have grade 2 in no time🙂.

Go to KNUC and join

@Frostybanana Goto “FJDG” it’s in middle of Indian Ocean…no need to taxi you already start on runway, do pattern… there are many airports like that in the middle of ocean.

I would suggest KVAD or KVNY

KORD, hop to each runway, just make sure that hen you take off you get high enough to be considered a landing.

Try Madrid (LEMD) for touch and go. Takeoff out of 32L with a TBM or other prop aircraft.

Then fly high and you should see the runway in front. Look on map for help. It’s very good airport for touch and go and I highly reccomend it :)

KNRC on casual and do a figure of 8 touch and gos 👍🏼

Touch and goes

Hey yes do a lot of pattern work I enjoy doing pattern work with the A320 because I pilot only the A320 on IF if you enjoy a specific aircraft try pattern work with that it wil get you use to the aircraft and landing I also wondered when am I gonna reach grade 2 but it take a lot of flying and dedication im going for Grade 4 and believe me it’s a lot of hard work but also fun
Happy landings😁✈

[Patrick_Jennings]

I would recommend doing lots of pattern work and tough and goes. The next 8 landings will come quickly-assuming you haven’t already gotten it :)

Go to KFLO do figure 8s with a Cessna in casual server you should be able to get grade 2 landings in 30 mins

[Jakub_Astary]

I recommend doing patterns (making 8s) at KNRC (Nasa Crows Landing) with Cessna Citation X. You will get many landings and also XPs.
