Approach ( eg. og std 3* glideslope ):
--------------------------------------
approx. 20 NM out - reduce speed to round 150 KIAS
approx. 10NM out - set first flap and reduce to 125 ( comes by itself )
approx. 7NM out - set next flap and reduce to 110
approx. 4NM out - set full flaps and reduce to 90-100, and let the speed
wear off so on final you 'float in' at round 90 over threshold and 83
on touchdown ( on final possibly third notch flaps ).
Slight flare is necessary at touchdown.
On approach she is comming in rather flat, like the real bird.
Remember this aircraft has reversed thrust / reversing prop pitch, which
is activated by pressing ( default ) F2 key.
