fsx is all about learning. So even if you land on the taxiway it's fine.. eventually you will get better. Most mistake people do is jump directly to the b737 or A320 without even trying the cessna out. Get the basics cleared then jump on the complex aircraft, as you will be able to manage it more efficiently once acquired the basic know hows.

Yes, I've done many many many actual real life ILS approaches, I did one just a few days ago, and the ILS has nothing to do with touching down on the centerline (unless it is a CAT III Autoland). I've explained it all before, but some people just plow on with a mystical belief that the ILS is something magical that will help you land on the centerline.

You want to touch down with your main wheels and you achieve that by raising the nose a little. It has to do with the angle-of-attack, which is wind relative to the wind. As long as it is below a certain angle (12-16 degrees depending on the wing), the airplane will fly, more than that it will stall. Different pilots will give you different answers about the flare, but basically you want to stop the descent momentarily a few feet above the runway and then let the plane settle down gently.

There is something called slow flight, it is one of the most important things a pilot should know. It deals with airspeed/altitude control of a plane when the plane is flying at slower speeds. Its boring, but essential in flying. I have a 3 part tutorial on it my Flight Simulator Tutorials Playlist. It is called "Slow Flight Tutorial" (3 videos). One of the first videos I ever did, and rather dull, but the information in those three videos is very valuable.

It is the middle marker (MM) which is usually at the ILS decision height, meaning that if you are on the ILS approach and if at that point you don't see the runway visually you execute a missed approach. Middle markers are slowly being phased out of service, I know that in the US, many of them are already gone.

I like the string thing. I sometimes use a thin whiteboard marker to make easily removable marks on the screen (also works very well for "legal cheating" in shooters that don't have a permanent crosshair - zoom into the optics of your sniper rifle and hold it steady, make a little cross on the center of the crosshair and you have a perfect crosshair to go close range without zooming in).

Thank you for the tips, great advice! Just adding that one factor some may not consider - frame rate and stutters. It's hard enough landing properly, bad fps and/or stutter creates visual 'delay', making it vastly harder because you cannot react/correct yourself in real time, so make sure you have good flyable graphics!

Keep in mind though for larger airplanes (haven't tested on smaller airplanes) that the center of the front wheel is slightly skewed relative to the indicator depending on where you sit in the cockpit, i.e. it's slightly skewed to the right in the captain's chair. But this only really matters when you're taxiing and/or taking off and want to line up properly. For approach, have the very center of the screen line up with the runway.

@tg23399 If one main wheel touches before the other one is not a big problem unless it is happening all the time. Try to keep your head straight and not tilt it, my first guess is that you probably tilt your head instinctively as you're lining up which can cause you to misjudge bank. If that is not it, we'll go into some other stuff.

ILS stands for Instrument Landing System, and is designed to help you stay on the correct flight path so that you can land the aircraft touchdown zone. It's used especially during bad weather landings as an aid when you can't really see outside.

@rninanusa The best way to do it is practice, start the flare at 30-40 feet and reduce the power completely at 20. Make sure your approach speed is on the mark, 135 kts when the plane is at half full, and 150 kts when it is fully loaded. Whatever you do just make sure that your inputs are smooth. I have another video called "Landing Practice Tip (MSFS)" just do a search for it on youtube and it should be the first video that pops up, that goes over a little "trick" on getting better landings

@surbhisinghrockswi I mentioned small corrections, I believe that was my last tip.

One tip at a time, but what you have said is very important to a good overall landing. Thanks for the input.

@airsoftman6481 That depends, VFR, IFR, the plane, airport location, airport elevation, traffic pattern altitude (if applicable), suggested glideslope angle etc etc etc, there is no one good answer, each airport has their own depending on all and more than factors I mentioned above. Now that I am done with my lawyer answer, at an average airport at 2 miles from the runway you should be 600-800 feet above the ground (on average), at 5 miles you should be at 1500-1600 feet above the ground

@immortalisblog You could land a 737 with 90% fuel, as long as the total weight of the 737 is at or below the max landing weight, which is around 145,000 lbs or close to this (I’m going off my memory, so I could be way off). The reason I said 10-20% is because for IFR flight you need to have enough fuel to get you to your airport, plus alternate airport plus another 1 hour of flight on top of that.

When I land actual planes, it is so automatic I don't even think about it. But that comes with practice of actually AIMING for the CENTER LINE, not the runway, the center line. I've noticed it in my flight videos when I record my landings. The plane always hits that center line, and I didn't put any extra effort to make it land there, its just automatic and subconscious (unless there are crazy cross winds). Same thing in the flight sim, I'm just automatically making those adjustments

@polak4lyf That's a different lesson. This was only about maintaining the centerline, once you get into maintaining a glideslope, that is a whole new can of worms that should be taught on t's own. But you are very correct in mentioning that glideslope (PAPI) is just as important. BTW, I do have a tutorial on maintaining and adjusting the glideslope, I believe it is in my "Slow Flight Tutorial Part 3" video.

@LeetKrew090 Whether landing for real or in the flight simulator the trick is to try to land yourself (your butt) on the centerline. Over time it really becomes second nature so that you do it without thinking about it. It takes a lot of practice using correct procedures, because if you teach yourself how to do something the wrong way you'll never do it right, but a lot of practice using correct procedures will make it able for everyone to land within a few feet of the centerline every time.

When I was doing my instrument training, I brought along a GPS tethered to my tablet. After the flights you could distinctly see where I was flying under IMC and when I broke out of the layer. Under IMC I was on track, but it was a little back and forth across the course. As soon as I'd break out, that ground track straightened right up and was almost like I had an autopilot flying. Certainly prefer to be visual instead on hand-flying an ILS.

whenever you disconnect the AP, you need to be ready for immediate adjustment because the Ap has set the trim and rudder for you, so when you take it off it will go wild depending on how it's set. That's why there is a warning sound when you disconnect it. This scenario has been the cause of quite a few real accidents. There may be strong gusts out there, wind sheer. Autopilot is not to allow you to be lazy or inattentive.

I used the auto pilot as kind of a demonstrator. Pay close attention to how the plane lines itself up and holds the glide slope. Then turn it off and fly it manually. Also, you can use the built in glide slope visual aids by tuning your NAV radio to the right frequency and enabling the feature. You will see a yellow (or whatever color you've chosen) "highway in the sky" to guide you down.

No, ILS is designed to bring a pilot in withing a certain visual range where the pilot switches to a visual approach, usually to withing 1/4 of a mile of the runway and 200 feet AGL. The pilot must still make a visual landing at the end. Exception is the CAT III ILS, where certain planes that have CAT III capabilities can autoland. CAT III ILS is so precise that the autopilot will land the plane on that third middle of the runway. But most landings ever done are manual.

Rule for most airlines is you must be fully configured, at the approach speed +/-5kts, on the glideslope at 1000' AGL (around 2 miles from the airport). Most pilots have been taught to put the landing gear down at the Final Approach Fix (basically the point where you intercept the glideslope for the final descent, usually 5 to 6 miles from touchdown). So put your gear down when around 5 miles from the airport and around 2,500' AGL. If not then, the gear must be down while still above 1000' AGL

PAPI is a valid way of "approaching' where your glideslope is and what I used when I started in FS9. However, you shouldn't be staring at it - you should be looking where you want to go. For a visual, I pick an aimpoint and keep that aimpoint the same distance from the horizon by moderating the amount of power. And if I do that, I know my descent is constant and I will flare at that point. In VFR, there is no need to use ILS - if you cant do it visual, you shouldn't do it IFR.
