fitness88 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 When landing the MIG-29s the flight director on the HUD indicates 240 KPH. This causes me to land with too high an AOA [angle of attack]. I thought the 240 KPH was a bug but its been there from day 1. What should the landing speed be with no load and at what AOA should I be landing? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilducky Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I touch down all my russian aircraft with a speed of around 250 - 270. Just let it coast down the runway a bit them pull the chute. If your in anything but the Mig, once you touch down hit your airbreaks and that will hell you slow down as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your approach speed and AOA just before you flare at touchdown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilducky Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 approach speed is about 270 - 300. The AOA thing Ill have to get back to you on. I just look at the runway or follow the circle =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hummingbird Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 The Su-27 should have an even lower landing speed, which is one of the reasons it was prefered for the carrier role in the shape of the Su-33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFJackBauer Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 The Su-27 should have an even lower landing speed, which is one of the reasons it was prefered for the carrier role in the shape of the Su-33. And the Su-33 is being replaced by the MiG-29K. Nothing that a huge pair of flaps couldn't solve. http://aviationintel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/12_MiG-29KUB_main.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
