L39Tom Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 I need your advice because I regularly damage my nose wheel when landing. I use to land gently, but after the nose wheel came down at about 110knt, a master caution appears (nose wheel still working). Try to land with lower speed (about 145knt) and more AOA (about 14°) or with more speed (about 175knt) and less AOA (about 12°);I know that depends a little bit on the weight. Flaring and touchdown works fine until the moment the nose wheel comes down. To pull on the stick in order to let the nose wheel down softer doesn´t work for me. Airbrake and chute I just use when nose wheel touches the runway. How about your experiences and could you give me an advice to land without a master Caution? Thanks Tom
myHelljumper Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 What is the warning light that goes on when you land the nose wheel ? If it is the decol one it is because you plane is not trimed for take-off. Helljumper - M2000C Guru Helljumper's Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK3rTjezLUxPbWHvJJ3W2fA
lemoen Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Helljumper is correct. You probably either trimmed the aircraft in air or you used autopilot or both. To stop this warning double tap the autopilot standby button to make it reset.
L39Tom Posted May 2, 2017 Author Posted May 2, 2017 So it's not a damage of the gear but a not correct trimmed aircraft? Why does it apear when the nose wheel touches the ground? How may I configue the mirage for landing not to get that warning?
TheThumper Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 How may I configue the mirage for landing not to get that warning? I had this same issue. My answer to this is to not trim the aircraft or reset the trim as described above (double-tap standby). Now I do not get the decol warning. I just bought the aircraft in the last sale and read all the forum post about how easy the 2000 was to land. My experience is landing the delta wing softly (mostly nosewheel contact) has been a challenge! I can now get it on the ground in good enough shape to be flown again, but I alway cringe as the nose drops hard as I slow down. Good luck! ~Thump.

L39Tom Posted May 2, 2017 Author Posted May 2, 2017 Many thanks, you made my day. It works as you said. Reset trimming or autopilot and you will not get a warning.

When landing, set Master arm to safe, select A2A gun (will set it all to NAV mode) then select landing mode (3rd button on top row of PCN, or press 3). This will give you the landing mode HUD indications. Keep the velocity vector and the brackets on the runway threshold, control descent rate with throttle. Easy peasy.

APP mode, would be even better if u combine it with ILS frequency and landing waypoint (u get artificial runway in HUD) Tau's Youtube channel Twitch channel https://www.twitch.tv/the0tau
Azrayen Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 So it's not a damage of the gear but a not correct trimmed aircraft? Multiple reasons can lead to a DECOL warning. Read about them in the manual. Not-centered-trim is just the one you have the most chances of having. Why does it apear when the nose wheel touches the ground? Because DECOL warning is inhibited when the aircraft is in flight. And it detects that with WoW sensors mounted on both the main and nose L/G. How may I configue the mirage for landing not to get that warning? Neutral trim. One "click" on AP Standby does the trick.
