Phoenix 747 landing engines off (MSFS)

[@matthewwright9217]

you should rename it to how to fly a 747 like a mad man. somehow the most unstable approach iv have seen. you came in like a missile. but somehow buttered it? well done

@matthewwright9217 You understand my personal flying style. My first flight at this airport. The trick to landing without engines is to imagine that you're flying a hang glider; then it's easy.

That approach is fucking horrid

@@skies6546 Thanks for taking the time to watch my video and comment. Feel free to show me how you would do a better landing at an unfamiliar airport after losing all engines at low altitude. Merry Christmas.

@@CreativeRealityAU could have easily done S swerves on approach, or turned earlier and do a slow airspeed approach

people cant mess around in sins anymore i guess

@@MrSande Valid, i mess around in MSFS24 all the time, was assuming he was framing this as a more serious video

@@skies6546 I find S-turns in a 747 is not as easy as in a smaller plane. Turning earlier will put you too high. Flying slower is OK as long as you are overshooting your landing point - but then you have to dive down to burn off more energy to hit your aiming point, which means you will go faster. Remember that headwind will reduce as you go lower which could cause you to stall if you are going too slow. Energy loss increase as V-squared, so I find it better to manage energy loss through speed adjustments - but maybe that's just me. IRL kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5-upKewfK2Zq6c
