The A320 landings were hysterical. The runway is plainly just to short and narrow. On the larger planes the airspeed on approach is way to high for the terrain, plus the AOA you need increases airspeed. Everyone says to keep it at near stall speed for the 747, again the AOA need is too sharp. The A320 landings are almost what you would expect. Fun video. Thanks.

[@janellek21]

3:10 Well congratulations, you landed safely. But now it'll take a team of yaks to tow the A320 backwards so it can make the turn towards the passenger terminal 🤣

[@raymoland]

The main issue here as that the jet approaches are way to steep because you have the spoilers out. In the real world we can't have the ground spoilers extended in the air precisely because of what you are experiencing here. Try a flatter more stable approach without the spoilers extended. That will reduce your stall speed which will actually mean you can approach more slowly and mean a better chance of success.

[@jerseyfky]

I love how "the good one" with the 747 meant the Pilot and First Officer and possibly a jump seat pilot all being crushed to death :-)

@@theflightsim2020 yeah you’re right. I was going to tell you that you’re coming in way too high and steep, but then I saw that your VSI was always less than 1000fpm as you crossed the threshold, which is the VSI criteria for a stable approach. It was really just the illusion of landing up a ski jump! You’re doing great.

[@theflightsim2020]

@@normannutbar424 thanks man!!! I think I could do better now, I had the sim just a few weeks then. And yeah I maybe could go a bit less steep. Btw it's also very difficult keep your speed low while you are climbing on such a high altitude

Much flatter glide slope and high power approach of around 125Knotts would do a good 747 landing but still the runway length & wing clearance remains a constraint

[@OzFPVflyer]

[@iElementGraphics]

Can you explain to me what this means? Ive never played any of the games but am now curious what PMDG flight dynamics are

[@arwasairl6749]

@@iElementGraphics Back in FSX, you could disable crash detection and so when you struck a mountain or any valid terrain, the game would just bounce your aircraft. If you landed any aircraft without landing gear, it would just continuously bounce up and down, which looked pretty funny. Obviously FS2020 removed that by making it so when you hit terrain your aircraft would just sorta flop.

You're coming in with too steep of a glide slope. Would be interesting to see it with a headwind, full reverse thrust just before landing on the tip of the runway with auto-brakes set to max. Full flaps and about 122 Knots.

I wonder if it would help coming up from below so gravity is removing speed as you get closer.

[@MrCaiobrz]

You are an extremely bad pilot, pretty much every single landing with every aircraft (even successful landings) were too steep. You should approach with near level flight since Lukla is over 12º angled. I did the FBW320 in 2nd try (went around, not crashed, on first). 747 should be the same, but it would crash because of the wings hitting the houses around, not because the runway is short or angled. Takes too much time to try though.

Can you come up from below, slamp in the reverse thrust prior to landing then stall just before the treshold. It looks like you should be able to come up from below, following the ground up. Then you should be able to go with pretty good speed, then in effect fall down on the runway
