Nose down during Landing!!!! A380

MauriceKroll · Post by **MauriceKroll** » 10 May 2011, 15:36

Hello!

I´ve merged the Project Airbus A380 with the VC of the Wilco A346. I have just one Problem: When the aircraft follow the glideslope during a landing, the nose are down all the time! The VAPP is about 150 - 168.... could it be that this is too fast? But i can´t fly slower than the VLS.

How can i fix this problem? Is there something to do with the aircraft.cfg? Maby the flap-lift scalars? How can i fly slower than the VLS?

Please help me

....!

PS: Sorry for my bad english^^!!!

This is the flap-section of the aircraft.cfg from my merge :

[flaps.0] //Trailing edge flaps, visual and pitch
type = 1
system_type = 1
damaging-speed = 280
blowout-speed = 300
span-outboard = 0.5
extending-time = 25
lift_scalar = 0.00
drag_scalar = 0.00
pitch_scalar = 1.00
flaps-position.0 = 0
flaps-position.1 = 0
flaps-position.2 = 15
flaps-position.3 = 20
flaps-position.4 = 26
flaps-position.5 = 35

[flaps.1] //Trailing edge flaps, lift
type = 1
system_type = 1
damaging-speed = 280
blowout-speed = 300
span-outboard = 0.8
extending-time = 25
lift_scalar = 1.00
drag_scalar = 0.00
pitch_scalar = 0.00
flaps-position.0 = 0
flaps-position.1 = 0
flaps-position.2 = 8
flaps-position.3 = 17
flaps-position.4 = 26
flaps-position.5 = 32

[flaps.2] //Trailing edge flaps, drag
type = 1
system_type = 1
damaging-speed = 250
blowout-speed = 365
span-outboard = 0.8
extending-time = 25
lift_scalar = 0.00
drag_scalar = 1.00

flaps-position.0 = 0

flaps-position.3 = 20
flaps-position.4 = 26
flaps-position.5 = 35

[flaps.3] //Slats
type = 2
system_type = 1
damaging-speed = 290
blowout-speed = 300
span-outboard = 0.8
extending-time = 25
lift_scalar = 0.55

Approach/landing speeds at full flaps vary from 125kts (at empty weight) to 145kts (at MLW).

In other words, yes, you are approaching too fast. From your post I guess the Wilco panel is preventing you from approaching at slower speeds? If so that's a panel issue I can't help you with, though you might try approaching at a lesser flap setting if nothing else works.

Just cut the ZFW by about 200k pounds on the INIT page

First: Thanks for this Answer!!!

Yes, if the VLS is 157kts, i can´t choose a slower speed. I´ve read that this is a normal preventing system during a flight with an airbus!!!

Have you tried what esg wrote? That should reduce your VLS.

Thank you everyone. I reduced the ZFW at the Init page and everything is ok now...!!!

Forgive the potentially supid question but where can I find the INIT page ?

Is this the aircraft cfg ?

Thanks
