    The A320 landings were hysterical. The runway is plainly just to short and narrow. On the larger planes the airspeed on approach is way to high for the terrain, plus the AOA you need increases airspeed. Everyone says to keep it at near stall speed for the 747, again the AOA need is too sharp. The A320 landings are almost what you would expect. Fun video. Thanks.

    The main issue here as that the jet approaches are way to steep because you have the spoilers out. In the real world we can't have the ground spoilers extended in the air precisely because of what you are experiencing here. Try a flatter more stable approach without the spoilers extended. That will reduce your stall speed which will actually mean you can approach more slowly and mean a better chance of success.

      @@iElementGraphics Back in FSX, you could disable crash detection and so when you struck a mountain or any valid terrain, the game would just bounce your aircraft. If you landed any aircraft without landing gear, it would just continuously bounce up and down, which looked pretty funny. Obviously FS2020 removed that by making it so when you hit terrain your aircraft would just sorta flop.

    If you had even a little bit of finess on approach, and got the plane down to approach speeds (150 knott in the A320 is about 50 knotts to fast) The airbus will stall when empty with flaps full at 89 knots, and i know you can land a 320 at lukla, long with the entire 737-200 300 400 500 600 700 800 BBJ and BBJ3 although the 900 is sketchy as hell

    @billconway1753 2 года назад

    Interesting video I must say. Glad it's a sim for this. LOL. In order to making something like this really work effectively, you really should practice a few bush flying techniques first. I have actually done these in real life in real bush planes and they do really work, even in SIM. Try it on C-172 first then C-208B. These are "slip" and "cross control". Kind of like crabbing but different. Of course it also helps if one's plane is equipped with a STOL kit. Try this. You'll find you really like it.
    In watching your video all of your approaches are too high. You can't lose altitude quickly enough without gaining speed which is hilariously obvious by your flying techniques. This is what slip is for. Slip, or cross control, is full aileron L or R with opposite rudder. Bush pilots in AK use it all the time. Lose altitude fast w/o gaining speed. This will greatly improve your landing techniques on fields like this.
    Then, we you think you've got it down, hop over the hill and try Paro Bhutan. Real pilots fly this in jets so it shouldn't be problem. :)

    Absolutely zero chance with an A320!!
    As you're trekking into Lukla from the direction of Everest there used to be a broken wing off a twin otter high above the path reading: 'Welcome to Lukla!'

    I don't know much about runways and I'm sure they thought about this but what if the runway was angled diagonally for more footage and thus bigger planes could land there. That town would be twice the size.

    • @Kjhgfd123

      Doing that would not be possible because of the tall hills around lukla.

  • @terrythekittieful
    @terrythekittieful 2 года назад +1

    It could be possible by digging a long tunnel into the mountain to accomodate wing span and height of the jet plane but then you would also need a large space in the tunnel for the aircraft to turn around.

    • @abcdefgh6121
      @abcdefgh6121 2 года назад +1

      A tunnel this wide might need pillars...in the middle of runway, which will defeat the whole purpose of making one.

      @terrythekittieful 2 года назад

      @@abcdefgh6121 Could be arched? ha!, ha! ha! My point was that it is feasible but more likely to be a folly if it happened. Extending the runway at the mountain drop off end might be more logical.

      @abcdefgh6121 2 года назад

      @@terrythekittieful Oh yes, you are absolutely right. Arched like the hangers.
      That would be a perfect way to extend it.
      But yeah, that would be half the battle won, as we would be able to make the tunnel wide enough to land a plane but not enough to make it turn( if there is a way to pull it back, then it might be possible)
      But I dont think the mountain drop will be practical. We would have to fill it right from the bottom. That would not be quite feasible(if at all possible).
