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.

[@Kytkyloota]

[@Mig21LanceRr]

I can relate, this was very incomfortable and ...cringe even

That's also because there is a hill before the runway so the callouts always go pretty fast. (But my landing were still terrible haha)

[@normannutbar424]

@@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

To be fair, in real life it will brake much faster as the houses on either side of the runway are tearing the wings off your plane... 😅

[@wallacegrommet9343]

A small price to pay

[@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.

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

[@arwasairl]

@@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.

[@kronosol5779]

I´ve been in Lukla once and i can say the airport and the buildings around are pretty accurate. :)

[@MustafaDane]

Good video! But it might be possible to land 747 there. Just add 100 kts of direct headwind and you should be able to stop before runway ends

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.

[@EstrellaViajeViajero]

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

[@billconway1753]

Interesting video I must say. Glad it's a sim for this. LOL. In order to making something like this really work effectively, you really should practice a few bush flying techniques first. I have actually done these in real life in real bush planes and they do really work, even in SIM. Try it on C-172 first then C-208B. These are "slip" and "cross control". Kind of like crabbing but different. Of course it also helps if one's plane is equipped with a STOL kit. Try this. You'll find you really like it. In watching your video all of your approaches are too high. You can't lose altitude quickly enough without gaining speed which is hilariously obvious by your flying techniques. This is what slip is for. Slip, or cross control, is full aileron L or R with opposite rudder. Bush pilots in AK use it all the time. Lose altitude fast w/o gaining speed. This will greatly improve your landing techniques on fields like this. Then, we you think you've got it down, hop over the hill and try Paro Bhutan. Real pilots fly this in jets so it shouldn't be problem. :)

[@fritz4345]

I am glad somebody figured that out. In the meanwhile I'd rather hike into Lukla. It's just safer.

[@kirannarayanan1224]

You can actually land 'Lukla' on a 747.

[@matsv201]

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

[@drummer_rmft]

OMG....this had me dying. very cool! I stayed till the end. :)

[@wyqtor]

Good, now try landing them up on Syangboche!

[@AnIdiotAboard_]

If you had even a little bit of finess on approach, and got the plane down to approach speeds (150 knott in the A320 is about 50 knotts to fast) The airbus will stall when empty with flaps full at 89 knots, and i know you can land a 320 at lukla, long with the entire 737-200 300 400 500 600 700 800 BBJ and BBJ3 although the 900 is sketchy as hell

[@davidgrisez]

I find these Microsoft Flight Simulator videos funny and entertaining. With a flight simulator computer program you can attempt and do things that would never be done in the real world. I have seen videos on KZbin of real landings and takeoffs from Lukla airport in Nepal. That airport as we know can handle only short take off and landing type aircraft and because of a mountain side at the end of the runway there is no go around.

It could be possible by digging a long tunnel into the mountain to accomodate wing span and height of the jet plane but then you would also need a large space in the tunnel for the aircraft to turn around.

[@abcdefgh6121]

A tunnel this wide might need pillars...in the middle of runway, which will defeat the whole purpose of making one.

[@terrythekittieful]

@@abcdefgh6121 Could be arched? ha!, ha! ha! My point was that it is feasible but more likely to be a folly if it happened. Extending the runway at the mountain drop off end might be more logical.

[@abcdefgh6121]

@@terrythekittieful Oh yes, you are absolutely right. Arched like the hangers. That would be a perfect way to extend it. But yeah, that would be half the battle won, as we would be able to make the tunnel wide enough to land a plane but not enough to make it turn( if there is a way to pull it back, then it might be possible) But I dont think the mountain drop will be practical. We would have to fill it right from the bottom. That would not be quite feasible(if at all possible).
