You're always landing very short, both here and on the VFR landing video. You're basically mowing the approach lights. You should aim your landing at the point where the PAPI intersects the runway.
Yeah I noticed that too. Lost like 130 feet in about 10 secs from 9:35 to 9:45 which is ROD of -1000ft/min. You can see the PAPI change at 9:19 to show that the glide slope is off. Tbh, I have the opposite problem; not enough ROD - which means I shoot a couple bolters on carrier landings usually, still, rather fly the go-around than smack into the back of the ship! haha
He has some excellent, detailed videos and I've learned so much from them. However the landing videos kinda surprised me in that the FPM should be within the AoA bracket [11 to 15 deg] along with the -2.5deg glide slope around the runway threshold.
This is strange to me because I'm a commercial sim pilot. Why do you put on the speed brakes after extending the landing gear? That would burn fuel quicker because you will need to add more power to mantain the aproach speed. Why?
You're slowing the aircraft down for landing by extending the speed brake. If you then retract it you're regaining speed more quickly than if you simply reduced and then added power.
Hi. Thanks a lot for your video. Is there any way that we can set up the autopilot to land the plane after we are done with the mission objectives? Thanks a lot.
supanova Thanks very much! Another quick question if that's alright - how do I "mute" the ATC during a flight? Listening to AWACS and ATC at the same time during a mission is a nightmare.
You can reduce uniform and victor volumes with the comm1 and comm2 knobs on the Audio 1 panel. You also have to decide what channels you want on uniform and victor. For more information read the section on aircraft radios on page 91 of the BMS manual, which is in the install docs folder.
The ICP is the Integrated Control Panel. You can think of that basically as the controls under the HUD. ILS does cover some fairly complex topics, but if you've mastered the standard approach and landing it should come with practise. To familiarise yourself with the cockpit I would recommend the ramp start tutorial: ruclips.net/video/zLpjwuEsTGc/видео.html
Nicely done tutorial for the complete noob. Thank you.
You're welcome. :)

Yes. Landings are always the most difficult part of the flight.

Another great tutorial Supernova...thanks!
You're welcome. :)

The idea is that if you need to go around it's quicker to retract the speed brake to add speed than to add power.
supanova It is quicker not to even extend the speed brakes rather than extending them...still don't understand
You're slowing the aircraft down for landing by extending the speed brake. If you then retract it you're regaining speed more quickly than if you simply reduced and then added power.
The idea is to keep the turbines spooled up at a higher RPM
Damn your tutorials are nice!! Thanks!
Thank you. :)
Hi. Thanks a lot for your video. Is there any way that we can set up the autopilot to land the plane after we are done with the mission objectives? Thanks a lot.
The F16 doesn't have an autoland system. You can end the mission in the air, but that might fail the mission.
When I've tried to do this during missions I've had an "ILS OFF" message on the TILS ICP page. Is there any way to fix this?
Turn the ILS knob on the Audio 2 panel.

supanova Thanks again, you're very helpful!
You're welcome.
is there a way to preform an ILS approach without the HUD indications? if, say, it were to malfunction or something like that
You can use the HSI and ADI.
I don't have an intrument mode panel.
I can only imagine you're using an earlier block that doesn't have the panel.
There's an, "M" underneath the HSI near where the navigation panel used to be. Push that M to switch modes.
@@YTMNDMadMax Ah, okay, thank you
This is a tutorial for advanced users. What’s an ICP? Any chance to make a simple tutorial for us noobies?

I thought it meant insane clown posse?
thanks !!
You're welcome. :)
RULE #1 never fly below the glideslope... you're below the glideslope almost the entire way down
That's the second rule. The first rule is not to be above the glideslope.
@@supanova88 too high you can go missed
too low you can go into the ground
priorities
Not always, depends on the approach. In some airfield it's alright to go under the glide slop a little bit @@GZA036
