Ken Q 276 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Well, all of them. Depends. A) substitute my Mooney for the illustrated aircraft, and that represents most of my flights. Boring, maybe, but very satisfying. However!! That's me when my yoke wears out. I use the CH yoke. I like it, responsive and accurate, but not very long lived. Relatively inexpensive, but I get about three or four years out of one, then ALL of my landings look like B). C) Me. Today!!! Flew into Farmington Four Corners (NM) (KFMN) with a stiff cross wind. Runway? What runway? You mean this airport doesn't have a turf runway? Doesn't it run parallel to Rwy 25? No? Yoke right, rudder left! Land on the centerline? Yeah right. What centerline? Better be a duck! Ken 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wain71 2,204 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 a lot of C lately, unless it's an A320 or 737 then the systems help me look reasonably good.... 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bassman 259 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Definitely "C" but I usually "walk away" so I take it as a good landing!! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boetie 1,581 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 That's me in "C". Always pushing the rudder pedals the wrong way for a crosswind landing! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bassman 259 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Try using the rudder/steering pedals in MSFS2020!! They barely work when taxiing however are way too sensitive when landing. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bvdboomen 1,474 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Oh yes, definitely C. On 2/20/2021 at 12:33 AM, Matt McGee said: Warning: This will get you into trouble in real life! I have planned doing that myself too with a little less agile aircraft just because of my C choice. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
