MSFS 2024 - Short Field takeoff and Landing

[@eldadgefen1436]

Few suggestions from a CFI experience: 1. For a short takeoff start at the very beginning of the available runway. 2. When standing with full power on - use mixture for maximum RPM. 3. Beware of strong winds above 10 Knots - they are likely to produce turbulence. Compensate by adding some more speed before raising the nose for Vx. On final do not reduce speed too early. 4. For a short landing, in a short field, aim for the beginning of the runway. Practice but go for the safe side if you feel you are about to touch down before the runway, and add power to land later.

Do commercial pilot of jets train for this in their type aircraft? Cause seems like the pilots of the S Korean 737 sure didn't do any type of short field landing maneuvering

Thanks for the video, I find your material really useful for my newbie flights in MSFS. I recently started playing career mode in MSFS and I see a lot of missions for VFR flights on Cessna 172/400 for areas in mountains (it was a bad choice to start in north of Italy, yeah) and with airports with short runways. Could you make a video how to fly such routes, or is it even possible on basic Cessna planes with G1000? How to use navigation and flight planning tools for such flights? I tried navigraph and little navmap, and only way that is worked for me is to manually select waypoints in little navmap in mountain valleys and check elevation profile, but it is seems to be very time consuming and requires little navmap software. For example route LIMW to LFHU, it's only 68NM, but terrain is very challenging, at least for me.

I wonder if the pilots of that recently crashed South Korean jetliner had this training?
