At what speed do you land a commercial airliner?

Question

I'm starting to fly flight simulator and i'm trying to find out what speed would you land a commercial airliner like a 737.....

Answer 1

A 777 has a stall speed (Vs) with flaps up at 172mph....so i would guestemate...with a smaller, 737, the Vs should be around 150mph, or lower with low fuel from the flight, and flaps extended.

Flight Simulator ey???

Ok listen up,

Go to the Map, click on the airport that you are landing at.

Then double click the airport, and look for ILS Freq.

The number or frequency is usually different for each Runway, so find the freq. for the runway you want to land on.  Each runway's number determines its heading.

Run way 31L is facing 310, about NorthWest.

Plug that frequency into the right NAV2 radio (Shift+2) then switch it over to active(middle arrow looking button).

Make sure you turn on the NAV radio on the bottom of that screen by clicking NAV1 or NAV2

When you are approaching the runway, turn the autopilot on and then click "approach hold".  It will guide you vertically and horizontally towards the beginning of the runway.

Keep the speed at or around 175 KTS or 180 KTS.

Just before you reach the runway, hit F8 to extend full flaps, cut power, and pitch nose up

When you touch down, hit (/) for the speedbrakes, and hit (Ctrl+.) for the wheel brakes.

Then hold down F2 for reverse thrust to slow you down.

Good luck flight simming!!!

Nothing is more fun to takeoff and land than a 737  - 747
