What was your smoothest landing pitch in FSX or FS2004 ?

[Captain_Ricadro]

Well just to know how these pilot can land they bird safely on the ground, my last was -35º in a B247, my best was the 747-8i in -67º.

Here a challenge:
--> HOW ARE YOUR LANDINGS?

[rukiveer]

It's not the pitch what makes landing smooth but descent rate.

[Joeflyer]

During the FsP World Tour #2, I remember having a 0 touchdown rate with the ATR-72 and +200 ft/min (that's right, positive rate) at Lukla

[gbapache]

one of the few airports that if you fly straight and level the airport comes up to meet you. Not to mention no go-arounds permitted
at Lukla.

Probably the best from my last 24 jet landings, had also -60ft landing with Cessna 441 Conquest.

Probably have even smoother somewhere in my 135 flights with my other company, but really I don't bother to go through all of them.

I'm just curious about why we care about the landing pitch.
