ScottBotham Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Hello, Im using FSX, And I tried using the Honeywell FMC on some of my aircraft to calculate my landing speed however I dont think the Honeywell FMC does this. I dont suppose anyone knows any website or anything that calculates your landing speed? Kindest Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 What are you flying? I can come up with some pretty close approximations for proper landing speeds. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottBotham Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share Posted March 26, 2022 I use the 737 Max8 and the 787, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 maybe the jelair v-speed gauge will help. https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?297494-A-new-list-of-questions-that-I-come-asking-for-help [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) General rule of thumb...737 landing speed, I normally used was 135-138 knots. The 787, being considered a Heavy...about 145-150 knots landing speed. You might want to consider these to be the approach speeds and the speed at wheels touchdown to be a little faster.

lnuss Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 You might want to consider these to be the approach speeds and the speed at wheels touchdown to be a little faster. FASTER? That seems a tad backwards, Charlie.......... ??? Larry N. As Skylab would say: Remember: Aviation is NOT an exact Science! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Could be! I was using Google search and looking at landing speeds vs approach speeds and they seem to indicated a lower approach and a slightly faster touchdown speed when the wheels hit the runway! Beats me....with a stick! :confused: Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlfrenchmd Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 https://www.boeing.com/assets/pdf/commercial/airports/faqs/arcandapproachspeeds.pdf Tried to save a step by uploading the PDF itself. No joy. This lists Vref landing speeds for about all Boeing aircraft. The true Vref can be calculated from aircraft type, landing weight, flap setting, and other factors like runway condition, wind direction and wind speed, etc. I think.
