Christopher Wolfe Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) I just noticed this on the local news and wondered if it was the autopilot or just flying skills on the sticks got the aircraft down? Well done to the pilots, any landing that one can walk away from is a good one Bouncy Bouncy A few years ago I landed in Hong Kong at the old airport and that was quite interesting in a QANTAS 747 to notice the sideslip on the approach HK landing. * Chris * Edited December 28, 2023 by Christopher Wolfe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Jenkins Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 A friend invited me to his birthday treat which was a flight in a 737 simulator at Cambridge Airport (UK not Mass). The instructor set me up for an approach into Kai Tak and said he would look after the flaps and power and between the two of us I managed to land on the strip and stop in time! I guess that flying toy aeroplanes has some benefits. It was great fun but I'm glad I didn't have to deal with the flaps and power requirements as well as flying the aircraft! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
