How do I go from here at 375 knots a couple hundred feet off the ground to
landing with the landing score over 1.1 million I'll show you coming up
hey 74 crew welcome back if you don't know me my name is Kelsey I'm a 747 pilot
my channel seven four gear is all about aviation in my last flight sim video I said I wanted to get
a score over a million and I thought I was gonna just take a picture of it but then a friend of
mine said that doesn't count you have to make a video of it so I loaded up everything here
I got the computer on ready to go and we're going to see if I can get to a million but I
was thinking about it because that last video I did it took so long for each landing I thought
well I'm just going to go as fast as I can go to as late as I can go and then throw everything
out and see if I can get a million that way be a lot more fun at least all right let's get into it
so there's only one other one for landing on the 74 for this landing challenge uh I don't
remember where it was but it's here this is where it's at I think it said strong crosswind which
I learned in that last video to use my rudder for the for the correction there so I'm just going to
go as late as I can go as fast as I can go and try to throw out everything and we'll see how fast I
can get up to and how good of a score we can get let's go ahead and do this here um there we go
so I pre-configured all the buttons on the throttle
and the yoke here so that way I can just throw out everything in the last minute
and that is way too much
so what I'm going to do is just head for the runway and go as quickly as I can
and see how late I can throw out everything
there is something on these planes called load relief,
not all planes have them but some planes do and what that basically means is and again
this doesn't apply for all planes and you should never ever do this but what it basically means
is you can throw out all your flaps and then at this specific speed that's allowed to go
it will uh it will then push out everything all right let's pull it back here
and put out everything speed brakes flaps and gear
it doesn't doesn't look like the gears coming out gear
all right so the flaps are slowly coming out but the gear is not coming out
gear that gear is not out
well I tried I tried to do the landing gear that's okay so I was talking about load relief
load relief works for flaps for gear it doesn't matter I mean there's speeds you have a speed for
for gear extension and gear retraction in some planes it's the same speed um and you also have
a speed for with the gear being down how fast you can go so I don't know if there's something in
here which thinks that the gear will only go down at a selected speed but on Boeing there's a lever
if you know if you've seen it there's a lever you just push it down and it will go down uh once you
push it down it'll go down uh whether it's ready to or not and uh what will end up happening it'll
just end up ripping the doors off so uh I'm just gonna put the gear down now and and then do the
max auto brakes I'm just going to get it out now I will tell you on the real plane if you were to
throw the gear out get this thing straightened out if you were to throw the gear out really
early on like what I'm doing here this thing would not go very fast but I'm going to see
how good the people at Microsoft understand the aerodynamics of the 747 and 18 tires out there
we're going pretty fast it's about what we were I think we were like
about 370 when I yanked it back last time and there's a big thunderstorm going on so
if you hear thunder and lightning that's what's happening all right
that is too much I haven't quite figured out all right let's pull this back dump everything
gear's already down we got everything out it's going to get towards the runway
it the basics on the aerodynamics for most planes is if you're flying level and you throw
out everything gear flaps and the speed brakes at level flight it will uh well that's too much
it will uh slow down a lot i mean we're going way too fast to land but oh gear uh rudder rudder
i keep forgetting this rudder trim to steer with it's not
it's not in my muscle memory yet i go back to flying next week and uh obviously there's no
the rudder trim is is in the middle center pedestal so well we landed wow
all right i think that's about as low of a score as you could possibly ever get 13.96
landing smoothness of one okay let's try this again
i want to do this and i want to try to get it to a million because one it takes a while if you do it
on the profile they have you 160 140 it takes like seems like two or three minutes for each landing
and this seems to go a a lot faster and it's a lot more fun and it's something different so um
anyway as far as for the aerodynamics the plane works if you're going on level flight let's say
you were low like this in real life if you were at a level flight and you were to um ready to fly
if you were to do this in real life it would slow down a lot uh one your uh
i don't know that you'd be able to get this fast honestly with all the gear out next time i go
into the actual simulator which i want to say soon look at my schedule um i'll see if it'll let me go
after i've done all the training stuff sometimes if you have a little bit of time they'll ask you
if you want to do anything and if they uh if i get everything done then then i'll try that
let's see what we can do here straighten her out a little bit not other way oh 400.
what I'm doing is and if you ever try this you just have to keep it low and I'm going right
over this train station here yanking everything back and then I got everything set up with the
auto brakes and the landing gear at the beginning and then I pull everything back speed breaks back
flaps back and then I guess this is just letting it load relief configure on speed
so when it's able to do more flaps it's doing it uh you you will just have to keep the 50
okay that's better get on the centerline
it's a tricky thing with this rudder is like you you can get it if you do too much
then it starts floating but we ended off on the center
what's my score okay that's not bad considering we're at 400 knots before okay that's not a
million so uh the landing spoon this is what's killing me all right let's do this again
anyways if I get in the simulator I'll I will try this uh sometimes they do a
drill where you're on fire and they want to see how quickly you can get back to the airport so
if that's the case we have a cargo fire and they'll do it where everything's on fire and
it's the other guy's helping run checklists and you're flying just basically as quickly as you
can to get the plane on the ground as quickly as you can you do actually something kind
of like this which I personally enjoy because it's a challenge it's not what we normally do
um and because normally you're just flying you know your standard profiles
in and out of airports ready to fly oh so I kind of enjoy doing those things
all right so I got it all the way maxed out I got the gear down and auto brakes
to max I just set up all these knobs in the in the settings so that way I could uh
I didn't have to go in and inside and outside of the inside-outside the flight deck because
I figured when I was doing that in that last video I was getting in and then getting out
and I was being really high or whatever dude we are going I got this thing almost in the red
we're gonna be going fast we got her all trimmed out we got the gear down there's
no way I think in real life you would get damn that you would get going this fast
all right there's a train yard let's dump it, oh this is gonna be a good one this is it this is it
okay get the rudder straightened out I don't know if it's me or if it's the
gears down okay nope not yet not yet yeah it's a little hard but
that has to be close to a million if not a million
the rudder becomes this rudder trim at least becomes
hardly effective when the plane gets slow which is how it works in real life what
halfway there
that's I thought that was pretty good
okay what was it ground rule oh I didn't land on the center line, okay the rest of it was good okay
I'm guessing based on this like what 1.5 million is the most you can get let's do the same continue
I just noticed this 292 degrees at 25 knots really Microsoft uh most of you know
at the airports they always report the winds in tenths of degrees,
not to the 292. it would just be 290 at 25 knots which again for this runway it's only 30 degrees
that's hardly a crosswind I wonder if there's a different way to set this up
I can do it let's try this max it out down rudder back speed
you you will if you do try this uh at your house you do as you get the power up all the way
like i have uh you you will find that it is um you kind of have to push over the nose
to keep it from going up as it starts getting really uh it starts accelerating
where are we at 3 10. this nose turned up
oh crap I don't have it I don't have it up all the way whatever
just demonstrate that I didn't have it all the way that's why we're not up to the 400.
there's a train yard let's dump it dump it dump it
all right everything's out let's line her up here you will have to you will have to keep
her over because if you let her actually fly up in the air what's gonna happen is
then you're gonna be too high and you'll be accelerating on your descent so you
you'll have to just keep pushing nose pressure to get it over oh this is looking good
all right almost there almost there almost there almost there a little early
oh this is right down the middle a little bit to the right
I almost made it on thousand-foot markers and it's going right down the middle so
I don't it was kind of hard though I thought let's go back to the middle
yes 1.1 so 1.19 almost 1.2 so that obviously the center line was obviously the part that did really
well obviously it was a bit of a harder landing than i would normally want or it seemed like it
was obviously it wasn't wasn't too terrible uh but it's it's definitely something that's doable this
is fun i don't know that i thought it would be something different to try something different and
try to go as fast as i could and try to configure everything as fast as i possibly could
you will have to put the gear down because again i don't know that there's an anomaly where they
think there's load relief on the gear there there is a speed which you can fly with the gear out and
retract it but i would just throw it out throw the speed brakes configure that however you want
but do those things first you're going to need the auto brakes and the gear out straight away
and then you're going to want to come in as quickly as you can uh and as low as low as you
can and then once you get right over that train yard or maybe a little bit past it i may just try
this and keep going and do a little bit pass it and see how late i can actually go and configure
everything if you never saw the first flightsim 2020 video i did check out this video here and you
can see some of my terrible landings if you want to see some awesome viral videos that i explain
check out this video up here i look forward to hearing from you until then keep the blue side up
