Landing tips

Post by p40fan1127 »

The P40 flys like a cow on short final, and every landing I make I always bounce. What are some tips to make a smooth landing in this bird?

Sounds like you're too slow. What's your final speed and speed over the fence?

I was having problems landing my P-40, and I asked SIM CFI to make a video about landing the P-40. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG8uVYcgoq8.

Easy peasy. Piece of cake. (heheh) All it takes is for me to not fly my P-40 for a couple of weeks or so, and I have to learn how to land it all over again. Still, that video is somewhat helpful.
