This is a clip of my friend on approach on our LAN in FSX. I have been flying with him using shared cockpit, and thought he was to a point that he was able to fly solo, so naturally I had him land at SABA.

The clip must be viewed in HQ and full screen to see anything at all really.

Don't feel bad; these are common mistakes with all "beginner" pilots in the real world, too. :kilroy:

He/She's "behind the aircraft" and Here's what you can do to help him/her...

1. Look up "Slow Flight Rules" for proper landings procedures.
2. Look up "Gliding techniques" for powered flight handling.

Good Luck! :wavey:

BTW: Entertaining video; the music, especially, goes great with your video.:applause:

Excellent choice of music, BTW. :wavey:

Maybe Edwards Air Force Base next time? They have nice loooong runways there. :icon_lol:

I caught myself reaching for the hand-held to yell.. " GO AROUND !! "


1) Nail the approach speed..

2) Be all but landed as you turn final.. just wait on the runway..

3) EVERY landing is a planned go-around.. but if everything falls into place.. and you find yourself a foot off the ground near stall speed (with lotsa runway left).. go ahead and land :mixedsmi:

When I first started using FSX I practiced at Diego Garcia for that very reason. It was even better with amphibians.

Actually....that's not too far off from my first solo in real life.....

Except for the cliff of course....only had a chain link fence to worry about.

But it was a scary chain link fence.
