Tell us the truth...how many times did you try to land until you actually made it? Hysterical! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GripperSim Posted May 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Hi Gregg! Yes, this was an interesting one. Usually I aim to make one take while recording flying. Attempt 1) I blew a tire before coming to the end of the runway and stopped on the beach. Attempt 2) I came off the end of the runway and injured several holiday makers, I floated too much in the flare as I was trying not to burst tires. Attempt 3) As I came in, I dumped all the flaps just before the flair in order to put the aircraft down hard and early. It worked! In hindsight I should have put on a 50 knot headwind and lighten the aircraft in-order to make it easier. I only had a 10 knot headwind in the video. I've also played around with landing a 737 in St Barts before in the past, practise makes perfect! Auto-brakes set at high, full reverse thrust. Give it a try! Its fun!
