That real pilot Dan's talking about is me! The captain that I fly with continuously touches
down under -100ft/min.
sometimes doing a little hop on landing...meaning the main gear touch the runway twice on landing...this may be because the vertical
speed is climbing into the positive due to the flare or ground effect...even though the touchdown may be very smooth...and real aircraft do
this many times...i can't stand it!...even the smallest hop is very unsatisfying to me as a sim pilot...i know how to avoid this ...but my
question to you is....does this bother you or other pilots?
