FSX Tutorial: Landing

Today we complete our beginners' journey and bring the plane back home as we look at descending and landing the plane. We will also cover a little bit of flying lingo and learn some valuable information used when approaching a runway.

Now retired and decided to learn to fly in the FSX Sim, found this video so helpful, going to find previous ones and start from the first one. So pleased to have found your channel. Your production and instructions are first class. My sincere thanks 🛩

It's been almost a decade since your videos were made, yet I still refer to them from time to time. Someone should give you a medal for creating such a fine series.

I really enjoy the way you present the instructions. No yelling, no excitement. Just a calm attitude and easy to listen to. It's really hard for me to believe you don't have a pilot license, just a lot of time in the sim. This should be something everyone viewing it should see.

FINALLY, Finally, someone is doing an awesome job, to explain in great detail, how to land the Cessna 172. It's a real good addition to the tutorials lessons of FSX! Both thumps up!!

[hmabboud]

Perfect! So I am not stupid after all. Your very good. You should be a teacher because you know what is perfect to say and what should not be said to avoid confusion. You have a perfect
balance!

I was getting very frustrated with the lack of clarity of some of the tutorial lessons in FSX, but you have made things clear by "talking through" everything in real time. Thank you.

FSX has not only made me a fair simulator pilot with the help of videos like yours but to be quite honest it is sometimes difficult enough I also need to give it credit for my improved drinking skills as well.
It has only taken slightly more then 300 hours of practice just learning how to take off and land the Boeing 747-400 the correct and safe way and do it pretty much consecutively each time but now when I get into the Cessna it's like going from a Tractor Trailer to a Volkswagen bug and having the much faster reaction scares the hell out of me some times. I guess The biggest mistake I or anyone else could make with FSX is starting out big instead of working your way up from the smaller planes first. It will sure save you money on buying alcohol anyway..LOL!

I'm learning to fly and land a Cessna 172P using Flightgear and I find your instructional videos using FSX to be clear, concise and educational. Keep up the sterling good work !!

[thelastpilot]

I find your videos not only educational but entertaining as well. Straight to the point and well explained.

I hope i'm not late. Just recently trying to learn how to land and have to admit this is the best tutorial. Been trying to understand what the numbers mean on the landing strip. Thanks a lot. i'll subscribe because of this video.

I fly the C172 pretty often in FSX but my latest landing was a bloody disaster. I needed three attempts as the first and second try ended in crashing the aeroplane. On my third attempt, however, I managed to finally land but had a tail strike. A FSX-flying session to forget! :D

[sidowninc]

I just watched your first 3 tutorials and I successfully landed my first plane properly...I think
Thanks man, it's really clear and easy to follow, you've helped me learn the basics.

[yamahonkawazuki]

i know for a long time fsx was used in ground schools. i subscribed. these videos show both a seasoned simmer as well as a beginner ( im kinda between the two) the proper way of doing this. thank you

Re PAPI/VASI

If you're seeing all green lights, you are extremely low and what you are seeing is the light shining through the grass!!1 ;)

[himanshusekharS]

Already watched a couple of your videos; very very helpful. Thank you.

[AndyRobichaud]

Thanks for the video. Especially the explanation of the PASI and VASI lights and what the runway markings are.

[hakunamatata]

Beautifully done and explained. I kindof learnt what i could not grab till now about landing from this video. Thanks for the effort and sharing.

[ropshubop]

Popping in to let you know these are still being put to very useful use! Useful, I say! Thanks.

[marvinradtke]

Thank you so much for these videos. I'm taking pilot lessons right now in the US. I was having problems comprehending the AFD and VOR/ILS systems. But after watching your videos, its becoming clearer to me as to how/why they work. I've been getting my knowledge from a book and some of it is clear as mud! So, thank you very much, not only are these awesome for FSX, but very useful in real world flying as well!

[YuvrajHanspal]

Now look what you've done!!! You've inspired me to take up flight simulator again!! 😜

Very nice and informative videos. Thanks a lot
