![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Try keeping the speed in the 180-185 range when you fly the approach on manual, applying generous amounts of trim might help also.1 Le manuel FlightGear Michael Basler, Martin Spott, Stuart Buchanan, Jon Berndt, Bernhard Buckel, Cameron Moore, Curt Olson, Dave Perry, Michael Selig, Darrell Walisser, et d autres. It took me a while to figure out how to read the instruments for landing, I can never get the hang of the modern glass-screen cockpit instruments for some reason. With practice I think I could get the hang of this one. Keeping it on the glide slope was not really a problem even from 8000 feet to touchdown, it did like to wander a little but no plane tracks like its on rails when flying manually - corrections were small but effective. Makes for a faster approach than I'm used to but it is a larger faster plane than my normal Constellation that I do ILS landings on all the time. So full flaps is probably warranted for this plane - even so it looks like speeds below 180 won't let you keep a nose-up attitude. Some things I didn't expect were that it will NOT flare to a nose up attitude much below 190 knots, even at 75% flaps. ![]() I just took the 787 for a couple rounds to look at how its ILS instruments work and to fly a couple full manual ILS approaches. Full flaps also tends to make the slow speed oscillation more pronounced. 1000 fpm descent - full flaps will mean you'll need to use more power. On other planes I generally use about half flaps (50%) for ILS approaches - I beleive the glideslopes are normally calibrated for approx. ![]()
