DaveRindner Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Hey guys. So I am doing a near vertical land into wind. Weather vane nicely pointed into wind and aligned with a/c. With very slow fwd speed and vv within safe limits, as soon as aircraft touches, I retard throttle down quickly. THe a/c then inexplicably, to my anyway, starts to tip on its side. I am wondering where my control inputs is doing this. Track is attached. Amazing sim!AV_8B_VSTOL_recovery_intoWnd.trk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimiC Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Can't look at the track but maybe look at your aircraft attitude. I think it's best to be a bit nose high on the touch down Nozzle angle 82 -84 deg usually requires some nose high to get below 30knots in my experience Sent from my SM-G925I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladius Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I have the same problem. I've got the Harrier below 50 kts. I am now practicing with the trim without moving the stick. It's a little better. But the Harrier is swaying.

DaveRindner Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Well, after reviewing the landing , aircraft config, and a/c attitude, it appears that my VV was a little high, causing a bounce. It is the bounce, combined with ground effect turbulence and exhaust gases that is , most likely, causing asymmetric lift within GE. Assuming that GE turbulent air flow is modeled. Optimal a/c attitude I am striving for, at moment of touchdown, to avoid bounce, is; Fwd KIAS < 10 kn relative to landing area. <3 on ship. Ideal is between .1 and 1 kias VSTOL Master Mode aircraft tail & wing HUD symbol " -^- " is on 0 pitch , aligning the bicycle gear for 2pt td. VV <=1 m/s Flt path " -o- " little lower then 0 pitch ladder on td aimpoint. A/C heading such that weather vane is aligned into wind.
