Concorde Landing Pitch Question
Recently a new addon Concorde was released for Microsoft Flight Sim. I've noticed something about this simulated Concorde that makes me wonder about the real one.
I've noticed on final approach and landing that the nose pitches up to the point I can't see over the glareshield! My ZFW was 89645 kg with 18000 kg of fuel. My final approach speed was 170 knots.
The only reason I ask here is a quote from the sim forums said "according to the Real manual" that this is what's supposed to happen.
If that's so, then I think flying the Concorde must be quite a feat. But I'd think that being able to see the runway would be a must for manual landings. I realize the sim might not be truthful at all.
I'd appreciate any comments.
