Ironhand Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Probably true. I've heard from a RL Mig-21 pilot that they were required not to use full flaps for landing while at a training stage. Probably true. Judging from my experience in the sim, full flaps are more likely to dump you onto the runway hard as the wing loses lift with speed loss. With 3/4 flaps, that loss is more gradual and your landing is gentler.

Steinsch Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 :) Nicely done. Guess I prefer having a better view of the threshold and runway on the way down, when making a visual approach, so I come in steeper. And I think you're absolutely right. It's safer in every way. Better visibility of the runway, controls certainly more responsive and more reserve lift in case you need to wave off. I was almost at max MIL and had almost zero reserve thrust left to reduce my rate of descent if that came to be necessary (unless AB was used but that would guarantee a go around). I was lucky to be pretty much on the glide from the outset and in a safe environment. :) Steinsch Flying Virtual F-15s since 1989 YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/c/CommanderSteinsch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Nuts Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Something i see people do is just chop the throttle over the runway as its done this way in other aircraft. The mig is no floater like the cessna 172. Dont dump the throttle, just use it to control how hard or soft you contact the runway. Makes it all a lot easier.

jojyrocks Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Now try this with full fuel, 3 drop tanks full, AA missile load and gun ammo :D It is possible... One has to hold the nose a bit more higher and come in a higher speed...not too high to smack the tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steinsch Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) I've refined my procedure and just completed this landing tutorial.

Art-J Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Checking only fragments of your video so far, I'd recommend adding the Ctrl-Enter indicator to your future vids, so that viewer clearly sees exactly how you operate the stick in liftoff and touchdown phases (the most difficult ones to perform smoothly in MiG-21). Otherwise, seems to be a good tutorial and I'll certainly watch all of it later. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
