Landing included the following problems:Poor alignment with runway on visual approach - line up and stay there. [0%]*Landed without a proper approach OR off runway surface.**Poor steering after landing - stay on the centre line.Flight Score:124.05 Flight commended in the following areas:Smooth turns.Nice banking.Correct matching of flaps to speeds.Gear deployment at safe speed.Comfortable G forces.Smooth pitch control.Flown within aircraft's maximum speed limit.Good take off steering.Appropriate position of flaps during taxi.Safe taxi speed.Smooth braking during taxi.Smooth climb during takeoff.Wings level near ground.Well coordinated turns.No stalls.No flying dangerously close to stall speed.Pitch not too high.Pitch not too low.Flaps down on time.Approach speed not too fast.Low altitude speeds not too fast.Good clearance of obstacles. Flight included the following problems:[*]Dangerous taxiing turns - these cause discomfort and stress.[*]Late rotation - when Vr is reached - take off.***[*]Rapid descent - dangerous and uncomfortable.****Definite room for improvement... *I had nasty turbulence coming into final. **I landed at the right edge of the runway due to the wind blowing me over to that side. ***I am starting rotate shortly after the 80 knot call out and still get docked for this because I get "Ok, let's rotate" just as the mains are unsticking from the runway (AOA is around ~8+ degrees or so, even.) ****Only way to get down to the runway on time. On approach the VASI lights stayed white the whole time, even on touch down and yet I still got the "Distance from threshold" bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManuelL 71 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I know what you mean. I got some troubles with the Learjet, too. With a fast plane like the Citation X its almost impossible to rotate fast enough compared to the accelleration and you just have to have a hick-up on short final to be off the slope.

Paul G 13 Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 I was coming in at over 1500 FPM just to make the slope (final approach was started at 4,000 feet.) And I also get the same late rotation issue with the Lancair... And I'm even rotating below the rotation speed, even. Lancair's ref rotation speed is about 80-ish knots, and I'm rotating at less than 70. (Though the Lacair Legacy 2000 handles like an Indicar in about every area of flight.)

ManuelL 71 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Did you just use the aircraft profile that was populated automatically by FSFS or did you create a user profile. If the speeds don't match the literature, you can create a user profile and enter the correct speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It does random full right rudder deflections with no input what so ever.) ****The bloody aircraft would not unstick till after 110 knots, and even I had the stick full back at 80 *****For goodness sake, the winds were still at 96 knots (from heading 255) all the way down to 4K, I was flying with reversers the whole decent just to keep from over speeding, during the turn around to get in pattern for final I got pushed by those bloody winds and broke 250 KIAS because of it Am I angry? Yes. Am I handling this well? Probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
