737 800NG Bounce
This is my first post here and as I am not a real world pilot I figure I should outline my position.
I am using Microsoft Flight simulator with the PMDG 737-800NG software.
It’s an excellent bit of kit but the problem outlined below happens on almost every landing. I have been informed by a Pilot that it’s known for this but he is not flying the 800NG (Not yet anyway). He has been told this by pals that it is not uncommon in this type of aircraft.
I have spent some time learning this aircraft and its system but can’t get a clear answer to this problem.
Can anyone tell me if the 737-800NG has a reputation for giving a gentle bounce on touchdown when using the full auto land and flaps 40.
I also tried landing with flaps 30 but still get the same bounce regardless of conditions.
The only way I can avoid this “bounce” is to disengage the auto pilot and manually land the aircraft. This takes me much further down the runway then expected.
Thank you in anticipation!!
