canox Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Ive been practicing Juliana landings.. inspired by this vid. Whats your technique? I always nearly miss the fence but you seem to have a lot of clearance. (I have the same scenery) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Plane Australia Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) From your picture it looks like your passengers had a smooth landing but you are a bit close to the perimeter fence. Approach the runway with a higher descent rate than usual and only start levelling off once you have cleared the fence. Almost dive onto the runway then pull up late. This helps to keep a high approach over the beach and a reasonably smooth landing. Remember to keep your speed low on approach. Also if you keep your speed low their should be no problem in touching down a fair distance past the displaced threshold. In your image it almost looks like you will hit the ground before the runway threshold. Your approach was better than some of the professionals though Edited January 1, 2014 by X-Plane Australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canox Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) It was pretty smooth, actually touch down nearly at the end of threshold... but yea the inches clearance from the fence makes me feel less than comfortable. This airport is a tough landing! S.Harris does it well.. haha Ive watched the video so many times!Really cool.. My approach is ? than some professionals?! Those pictures are ridiculous... ppl ducking from the C208 lol.727 is the toughest plane I have to land at Juliana so far. 747.. whooooa Edit: Mr. S.Harris are these hand flown or using ILS?

Steve Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hi, my landings are all manual, I think it does not have ILS... But I've been practicing a long time, many many landings is one of my favorite airports... I think its not an easy airport,but my firsts landings are a disaster And during this video recordering I had to repeat many of the landings with different aircraft landings to get a "decent"/"not very hard" landing :-) but sure with time and many practice in landings you get improve with practice Thanks to all for feedback!! Cool shots but are professional pilots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Rice Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Landing here is only hard on days of the week that end with "y". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
