I downloaded Infinite Flight for the iPad this weekend. Working on landing technique. Is there a website out there dedicated to helping amateur aviators successfully land larger aircraft?
In X-plane, I rarely had trouble landing. But I have trouble landing in IF. I don't know if either is inherently more accurate than the other in terms of control sensitivity, but they both feel about the same to me. The issue I'm having in IF is flaring at landing. If I deploy flaps a good amount, it seems like the wings generate too much lift, and I end up landing nose first. I seem to have better luck landing with no flaps. But I know pilots use flaps to land in real aircraft, and all the landing scenarios in IF start with flaps deployed. Does this generally indicate that my ground speed is too high, if I have too much lift with flaps?
I've been working on the CRJ-200. I've flown enough in them (as a passenger) to be familiar with them and I rather like how they look, their physical proportions. Are pilot checklists available for these aircraft such that someone on a flight simulator could use them? Things like, lower GS to 200 kts, deploy flaps to 30 degrees, etc.
Thanks in advance.
