I just finnished the flight B437 (ESSA - BIRK) in a bombardier 850. Its not the first time I start wondering, is the time I get correct or not. 1h and 23 minutes is the block time I got on the pirep but in accual time I've spent like over 3 hours, sure I've done abit of other things and had to pause sometimes so but I'm afraid sometimes that the simulator changes things because of something I do or what ever.
Another thing is I have started doing what I've allways avoided, and its flying IFR, its more realistic in these enviorments so I wanted to learn this. But I often get insecure, I get maybe abit disorientated atleast at first wasnt sure I was guided correctly or even where the airport is... anyway its getting better but the landings are still hard, on a visual with my me deciding how and when basicly I land just fine most of the time but doing it completely by the book IFR is hard.
This time when I got to BIRK I had planned it pretty well except the fact that I flew past the airport totaly because I expected to be told to turn again but it never happend so I flew past and had to turn around and then land, no problem tho because when I got to the runway having it ahead I got clearence and landed. I had full flaps or almost and low speed wich I had prepered along time ago but I was abit high so all that was abit ruined and I had to go down pretty fast and went from doing 175 to doing 220 and didnt get touchdown until I had covered more then half of that runway. I was just floating above and the plane wouldnt settle, its nothing new to me I was simply going to fast but it happens alot to me and I need to do a better planned approach.
So any suggestions, what do you guys do. I have watched some on youtube and from what I have seen most land right at the begining of the runway and make it look so easy.
I filed 2 mistakes on reports too if someone could check that!
