GripperSim Posted May 26, 2019 Author Report 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! Quote
