I will give the autobreak 3 a go and see how I get on.

Will also report back hen I do!!

Thanks

Thanks Bantios.

Most of the runways I am landing on are between 7000 and 8000 feet. More then enough room for the 800NG. A flap 30 setting would not be a big problem considering the RW length involved.

The Aero dynamics of this aircraft are impressive to say the least. I no longer allow the VNAV to control my descent as it can cause a big increase in speed. (Not what you want when you are passing 10000) What I now do is LVL CHG down to 24000 at 0.80 level off and reduce to 0.65 or 290Kts down to 11000 reduce to 240 down to 4000. 160 passing OM Flaps 15 then set landing speed and configuration. This gives me about 1 mile to go where I am just sitting monitoring everything.

I find it’s the best way to get the thing down. For me anyway.

If you were in OZ, id take you on a real sim.
If only.
