2 ft/s, on the numbers at Jersey, HS.748. Handflown from Top of Descent, visual approach (thus why I can land on the numbers. )
Secret? Hit the numbers (speed numbers that is). If you can make sure that you hit all of your approach speeds at the right times and fly and nice stabilized approach, landings will always be smooth and easy. I was landing in a thunderstorm with 10+ knot gusts and 25 knot constant winds, so it wasn't a pretty approach, but making sure I was on my approach speeds meant that I didn't have a problem with the flare and putting it down on the numbers so I could stop at the right taxiway.

I'M IN HAWAII! OH OH MISTER MISTER! PLEASE SIGN MY PMDG 747 THAT IS BETTER THAN ANY FREEWARE AIRCRAFT YOU GET! LOL. Sorry, nice job with the landings though.cmdrnmartin wrote:Man, all those 18s... tsk.
3 ft/s, hand flown the entire approach, right on the perfect marker (in the piano keys set, the broad ones), heavy, in a Antonov 124.
I'll be signing autographs at PHNL until my departure.
