Case II landing - check out the throttle movement

[Bullant]

 

The title says is all, look at how much the throttles are moved in the last 10 seconds or so of the landing.

 

Go to 4:40 for the good stuff.

If the throttles not sawing back and forth like a builder trying to get through twenty planks, your not flying right

That's little compared to the Super Etendard in the French Navy :smilewink: :

^^ & look at his thumb go too :-)

I've shown this to a couple of guys who fly Hornets and they both said:

- The Wx is about .5 of a notch above CAVU (ie little to no factor)

- His speed control is kinda suspect (without knowing if sheer was a factor)

...or perhaps, ever having flown a Super Etendard ...

As mentioned in my most recent video, you'll really want a good throttle for DCS: F/A-18C Hornet that provides good precision. It will make your life a lot easier maintaining your baseleg and adjusting GS in the groove.

Here's to hoping VKB gets the TECS out to us ASAP then! :thumbup:

Well, the Automatic (Fart ;) ) Speed Control in the Viggen isn't that bad after all then when you see other pilots jerking their equipment like maniacs :)

I know you're joking, but these guys are flying real jets, with a margin of error of feet, and not using the stick to control glidepath at all. Techniques vary, but that's why the throttle is moving a lot.
