TigerTigerM Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) I wanted to practice getting the 787 into Narita at night & took the Lufthansa livery for a short run in. I found, as is often the case when I am flying the heavy iron, (vintage & modern), that I underestimate the spool up time for the engines if I have slowed down too much & the runway boundary is fast approaching. So its full forward on the throttles & I just got enough thrust to keep out of the weeds, but the engines had given a massive 'kick in the backside', & a climb was underway. So now I had the floaty landing scenario as I tried to bleed off speed 1/2 way down the runway! Very inelegant. TTM (MSFS) Lined up pretty straight but trying to bleed off speed. The 787 is very slippery. Floating down the runway after avoiding landing short. I did get down ok & taxied to a spare stand. I was stunned to notice once I had stopped that the air bridge, of its own accord, moved itself into position & made a connection just as the A380 front door began to open. Brilliant!

Sniper31 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Super cool description as to what happens to probably many of us when flying jets and turbo props...lol. At least, I can relate. Nice three shots of that large bird coming back down to Earth. Landon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
