So you fly Airbus? Which one?on the flying pilot side stick
No less than 45minutes fuel. Most modern airliners can do autoland so if you could work a microphone, we could talk you through autoland, autobrakes, stop on runway. No autoland? it depends on how much flying time you have.So not like the stick shaker. Also good to know.
So back to the original question: lets just assume CAVU. 7 mile final which should be straight in; can you pull it off and passibly land it or do you go around to get more time to set up on your terms? Unless the low fuel light is on, you got at least a 1/2 hour. If the fuel light is on you had much bigger problems. And I stick with my original position: getting it stopped is the harder bit.
I am typed in A320, A330, A350. 21 years on Airbus. I was a check airman on A320, and A330.So you fly Airbus? Which one?
A350 is my favorite widebody!I am typed in A320, A330, A350. 21 years on Airbus. I was a check airman on A320, and A330.
Me too. It is much better than its Boeing competitor, the B787. The A350 can take off from almost any major airport in the world, and then land anywhere else in the world. The flight deck is a pilot's dream: six 19" display screens, roomy, and quiet.A350 is my favorite widebody!

Since most airliners are super slippery (we can glide, power off, for 100+ miles from cruise), without the knowledge of configuration and power management, without autoland a non-professional pilot would likely make a smoking hole at any runway they were aiming for at 400+ knots. On the other hand, I’ve talked numerous non-pilots through setup and auto land, autobrake to a stop in a full motion simulator - but I had to tell them everything to do while I was watching the same thing out the front windshield.
LOL. Too true. A heavy A321 is the fastest on final of the modern Airbus: about 140-150 knots. The A330 is pretty slow at about 135-140 knots, but the slowest is an A350 about 130-135 knots. All those with full flaps - and therein lies the rub. If you don't know how to slow a modern jet down, if you haven't stalled, you'd likely be 200 knots even at idle - and if you panicked and pushed the thrust levers up, you would be at 400 knots in less than 30 seconds.400kts over the fence sounds a bit fast.
Kinda like how I land: IFR currency every flight with 6 consecutive landings, but they are good because I can use the plane immediately after each one.I 100% guarantee the plan will end up on the ground.
However some of the plane will be over here, and over there, down there, and there.
No ATC? Yay! I am qualified! 90% chance!You know how in movies, if an airplane pilot falls unconscious or something, they go into the cabin and ask if anyone is a pilot? If that happened in real life, would you raise your hand? Do you think you would be able to land the plane? I was thinking about this last night as I was going to sleep and I think, as long as I know where all the important buttons are, there is a 25% chance that I would land the plane successfully. Oh yeah, and we are assuming you get no help from ATC...cuz reasons.
BETTER THAN BOEING????? WAT???? NO. LOOK AT THIS!!!!Me too. It is much better than its Boeing competitor, the B787.
