Tailwind Short Field Landings | Theory Quickie Lesson | Microsoft Flight Sim | Real Pilot/Instructor

This is a tutorial showing how a tailwind affects the landing distance of an aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator (FS2020). The aircraft we will use is the Cessna 172.

The quick tutorial is based on a question from the FAA Pilot Training and written Exam question database. This tutorial will help you understand how the wind affects the landing distance of an aircraft and how this can be a crucial consideration in short field landings when there is not a lot of runway available. We will use the Cessna 172 Short Field Landing procedure from the real Pilot Operating Handbook.
