Final Approach B734
Hi all,
I have a few concerns with landing a B734 (flight simulator). Does anyone know where I can find a POH for this aircraft. Also, in the flight simulator, it seems as though i can never find that happy medium between velocity and flaps I speed up and gain too much lift, I decrease speed and drop too fast....I adjust flaps and completely lose it. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Sorry for such a basic question, but for some reason my knowledge of landing cessnas isn't carrying over to the 737...imagine that! Thanks, and I appreciate any comments...sarcasm and serious alike. -Kevin

In a Cessna you use power to control rate of descent and attitude to control speed but on a jet it's power = speed and attitude = rate of descent. I have had a crack at our local 737 sim and he got me to fly at 145kt with full flap all the way down the approach. Seemed to work well... Dunno if this will help but bonus if it does aye.. :-) cya Chris

Thanks Chris,
I appreciate the advice. I have heard the same as well...maybe it is the configuration of the aircraft in the simulator that is giving me issues. I thought I have been doing everything right. If I hear anymore I will let you know if you'd like. Thanks, Kevin chris wrote: Kevin wrote: Hi all, I have a few concerns with landing a B734 (flight simulator).

x-plane version 8.5...I was flying Microsoft, and although their
graphics are much better, the realism isn't there. chris wrote: Kevin wrote: Thanks Chris, I appreciate the advice.

Can someone tell me why it is now necessary or appropriate to discuss a pure simming question, when there is a perfectly good sim group, right around the corner? What is next? Are we going to start talking recipes for baking a cake? How about some nice basket weaving? Come on, fellows. Go talk about sims on the sim group. -- Jim in NC

In a Cessna you use power to control rate of descent and attitude to control speed but on a jet it's power = speed and attitude = rate of descent. I remember hearing the same thing. Now having done my IFR license, you always stay on the forward part of the curve where power = airspeed and attitude = descent rate (power + pitch = performance). sO It's the same for light a/c as well. it just depends on what part of the power curve you are on and IFR a/c (in general) want to stay on the forward part of the curve.
