![]() Usually while landing what is the rate of descent recommended in the last 200ft ofcourse at 10ft a flare is needed which will further reduce the rate of descend. I am flying 777-200 and do not use auto pilot etc. as have no intention to fly in the real world. I am using only keyboard, just do FG for fun, no intention to upgrade to joystick etc. ![]() What are you flying? sanhozay Posts: 1207 Joined: Thu 12:57 pm Location: EGNM Callsign: G-SHOZ Version: Git OS: Ubuntu 16.04 The natural tendency of a tricycle gear is for the nose to go down on landing, which means it stays on the ground, whereas a tail dragger's nose wants to go up and start flying again. I'm assuming this is a tricycle gear aircraft you are flying but the same basic principles apply to conventional gear (tail dragger) aircraft, although getting the landing attitude correct is more critical in a tail dragger. When you are ready to land, bring the nose up gently (flare) and remove power so that the aircraft stops flying and settles nicely on the runway. Obviously to increase sink rate, remove power and lower the nose to maintain speed. Think of the power as giving you an extra push to your landing point. So add a little power to reduce your sink rate and raise the nose if you need to avoid speeding up. If the speed gets too low, you risk a premature stall. Bringing the nose up might stop you sinking temporarily but it just exchanges speed for altitude. When landing, if you are sinking too fast, you need to add some power. Trim makes most sense on joystick/yoke buttons. I don't know of any keyboard shortcuts for trim but some aircraft have controls in the cockpit and joystick/yoke buttons can be assigned to adjust it. Trim only makes sense with a joystick or yoke to maintain level flight when the axes of the stick are centered.
