NOTE: these tips are for flight simulation purposes only and are based on my own experiences. I could add a whole lot more, but these are just some general tips that you can apply to any aircraft type that you fly.
Tips in this video:
#Tip 1
- Practice slow flight: fly the plane at a safe altitude, lower the speed, put down the flaps and gear and fly around with it! It is the perfect way to learn how the aircraft behaves in landing configuration and you can learn how to balance elevator, aileron, throttle and trim in this situation.
#Tip 2
- Make sure your weight and balance is correct: make sure you are within landing limits, that you center of gravity is correct and that your approach speeds are calculated!
#Tip 3
- Fly a stable approach: no good landing without a stable approach: go around if needed!
#Tip 4
- Trim down your airplane, stop stressing that yoke!: relieve that pressure from the yoke. Use the elevator trim to let the aircraft itself glide down to the runway. + In general: do not force the controls and the throttles too much!
#Tip 5
- Make sure your eyepoint is set correctly: use a fixed eyepoint during the last few miles of the approach, stop looking around the virtual cockpit and focus on the landing!
#Tip 6
- Forget about the indications during the last seconds, LOOK OUTISDE: focus on the flare and the touchdown zone, the glideslope indicator will go crazy anyways, so look at the horizon and touchdown zone to make a good landing!
#Tip 7
- A good landing does not equal a smooth landing: actually, a firm landing within the touchdown zone is better, make sure you realize that so you don't get too obsessed with flaring and making smooth landings. That could turn out dangerous on wet and/or short runways!
