davidc2 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I've done a LOT of landings at various airports, sometimes, touch and goes, other times, just plain landed (no pun intended). However, according to the log, some of those flights are not recorded, which others are, but the landings are not. So, when is a landing, considered a landing?

ktchou Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I have the same question. Sometimes my landings are not recorded. What I can say is that some of the landings not recorded have been particularly hard landings. For example when the 787 pitches down with no elevator control on final (I figured out it will do that if you're not maintaining at least 145 knots or something like that), or when the app button decides to turn itself off on the 747 and you have to take control before you're ready.

FrankR409 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 For log purposes, I believe it is when you arrive at the assigned parking destination.

tiger1962 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 It seems to me that you need to turn off the runway and set the parking brake.

Elvensmith Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I did a textbook ILS landing at Nairobi last night after a post patch test flight with the A320. Taxied to the terminal, parking brake set, engines off, batteries tripped out. I didn't get the end of flight screen nor when I checked the log had it recorded the fact I landed. Yet the previous evening when I did a Harrison Ford and put the C172 down on the grass somewhat to the side of the runway at Wick on a Neofly run, it credited me as having landed... Go figure...

davidc2 Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 Well, I tried all the excellent suggestions here, took off from KJAX flew to KCRG (13 miles), landed, taxied, parking brake, shut everything down, looked in the log book and saw that I was in the "vicinity" of KCRG. Grrrrr (least it did log the fact that did do a night flight, lol) Windows 10 Pro, 32 gigs DDR4 RAM, Nvidia GForce RTX 3070, Intel I7 10700 running at 3.8, with Noctua NH-L9x65, Premium Low-Profile CPU Cooler-HP Reverb G2 for Virtual Reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankR409 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I tested again today to see if landing at any spot at the airport, instead of the spot assigned to you by the ground control would constitute a logged landing. With parking brake set, engine off, avionics and battery off - no logged landing.

I am guessing though the airport will still send you a bill for the landing...🤑 I9-10900kf, gtx3090, 32gb ddr 4 3200mhz, 2TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD internet - 300+ mbs / Honycomb Alpha yoke, Alienware monitor 34 inch @ 3440 x 1440 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
