Ok Tim...Rub it in, I crashed

<< < (2/3) > >>

EHM-1343 Jonathan:
well..it was the PMDG Boeing 737-800 with Winglets, fuel had about 40% of the center tank remaining. I remember Bruno telling me that he had some power problems with the same plane.

EHM-1358 Tim:
Tsk tsk...

You should use your centre tank first and then your left and right tanks later...

EHM-0948 Bruno:
Hi,

I think that maybe you forgot to disconnect the Auto-Throttle because when you disconnect the general AP button (bellow the 2 AP buttons) it dont disconnect the Auto-Throttle (only when you touch on ground).

Yesterday I got that problem too with my PMDG when landing with THAT :@ airplane on Menorca, but I quickly disconnected the Auto-Throttle and got the airplane on the safe on the air again ...

Regards,

EHM-1343 Jonathan:
I did disconnect, no effect, then i re-connnected it to press the TOGA button, do raise in power so i disconnected and ditched her in a field, it would have been a good crash landing if i didnt hit the tree :P

I will blame the mechanics for now:]

I don’t think so; the blame is most likely on you ;D

If you’re on approach and you set your flaps in to late to 40  then you will be to high on the glide scope but don’t panic if you let the autopilot do his job he will correct it.

And think also what was the wind and wind direction?

And if you programmed the FMC correct you can see on the approach page the flaps speed settings. ( you see it also on your primary flight display- left off the airspeed indication until flaps 25)), and change the flaps after reaching the indicated speed.
If you do it on the right way it will land automated and stop on time (set first your auto brakes en speed breaks) reverse trust you must set manually.
