Omg that is the best FPM Ive ever done in history

[Twista]

I just got done doing this flight on FSPassengers with my Level-D 763 and I got this landing FPM which I did not believe at first and I still dont
believe. I swear I did not edit this or do anything to it I can give you any proof that you wish to see to believe me.





I swear I did not edit that I can give any proof that you need I just think that its amazing that I could land a 767 with only 8.5fpm

nice job, id like to see someone beat that.

[snakeboy]

Well done. Did you land it with autoland or manual.

[Fritz Bayerlein]

4 degrees up pitch! That's also the steepest I've ever seen. :-) I usually land at about -150 with a 1 degree pitch.

[Twista]

Thank you snakeboy and AeroJim

I was going to try autoland because of the visiblity being so low but when I pressed LOC button it didnt line up with the rwy so I had to do it
manually and was kind of off until about 2nms out were I could see the rwy and land it.

After I got done I looked at the replay about 25times and I still dont believe it was that good looked like it was in the 100s but FSP says different lol.

Fritz Bayerlein to my understand a regular landing is done with 3-6 degrees pitch

Nice landing. Although, it's not desireable to touchdown at a speed less than approximately -25 to -50FPM. If you touchdown at too low a
rate of descent, you might not activate the air/ground triggers located in the gear. Thus, the plane might not actually KNOW it's on the
ground. Make sense?

[DBE]

So, Twista, what Brad is trying to tell you is: it wasn't that great after all!

[Edam]

Great landing...apparently your plane knew that it was on the ground. THAT makes sense to me.

[Twista]

What would happen if these air/ground triggers didnt activate would the plane not brake or something?

That's what I thought (and do) also. Most landings I perform are with a 5-6 nose up pitch attitude.
1 degree will give you a three-point landing (landing on all wheels at the same time), but I might be wrong.

[Fritz Bayerlein]

That's correct. :-)

Your Vref in a jet should set you up 1-5 degrees up-attitude, if you have the data for your aircraft at it's landing weight. . any flare should
only add a few degrees, but FS2004 does not model ground effect.. my basic plan is about 700 fpm glideslope, nose level, or up maybe
1-2 degrees. you adjust power to give you that attitude. throttle idle at 50 feet radar, 2-3 degree nose up flare, and grease.

Hmmmm- I bet you missed the TDZ by a long shot.

The main point is though that the smooth landing took you by surprise, it is not a product of "skill" so much otherwise you could get 8fpm consistantly on every landing. BTW Fritz 4 degrees pitch on landing is about average. Depending on the landing speed and aircraft design it can be different. A Boeing 757 might land at 2-3 degrees pitch, a Hawker Trident will land at 11-13 degrees of pitch.

Anyways take a look at this - bunch of liars:

Actually I didnt miss it by a long shot only about 10 feet from it I stayed on the glide slope almost all the way in and flared and cut throttle like
normally. Im also not lieing you want any proof just name it and ill give it to you I dont care what they did im just sayin Im telling the truth.

[Jetflyer]

If it was that accurate then that's great, well done. By the way I'm not showing you the Delta Air Lines Virtual page to show that there's someone
better, I'm showing it because I don't believe their -1fpm landings are legitimate.
