Author Topic: Why the 190 so hard to land cleanly (Read 1335 times)

nark · « **on:** April 23, 2006, 06:17:28 AM »

This thing bumps and flops on the runway and no matter what i do I can never stick a 190 landing...anyone have a clue how to touch down cleanly. Its tough when the field is hot to get this thing settled down.

so last night I fly a p47 and was so amazed at the landing characteristics, I couldnt believe when I was actually down on the tarmac..on another sortie I landed one on a cv. This plane hits the runway and stays on it-as does the p51.

I'm not suprised the P47 is easy to land. The real miracle is that it is able to get off the ground in the first place.

The 190 needs to be landed in a 3-point attitude. You basically need to almost stall it over the runway (with flaps out).

yeah, it's fairly easy, just get nice and slow, stick the flaps out, and really flare before you touch down. try to land at just over 100 mph, with the tailwheel hitting the ground when the main wheels do. should stop the bouncing

FW-190 has a high landing speed and that's why is bouncing. You can't land at 75 Mph like in the jug.
But you can always let the gear up and have a nice slide on the tarmac.

3 point or the usual " look ma' ,I can land gear up".

Yes, Pooface, its about as easy as getting 10 Kills landed in a HMk1 in the Main Arena.....

So you do it three times a day?

no, this really isnt that hard, just touch down slow. also, depends on the 190 variant, it's easiest in the a5:aok make sure your flaps are down, and really try stall it onto the concrete.

No. The best ive ever managed is land 6. Once. Pure luck. Its f***** hard. 10 is WAY out of my league. But then im not really a survivor anyway. I love desperate and against all odds situations too much to land a lot

Thing is the LW didn't have the USAAF secret weapon of Vectored thrust,that's why planes like the P-47 and P-51 can land on CVs in AH with easy.

But you get used to it, you just have to be better and that's not a hard thing to do.

It's easy to land 190s.

The only real problem is the Ta152, which flies nothing like the other 190s, with its glass landing gears and high probability of ground-looping during take-offs and landings.

You get to land a 190? Where the hell do you fly? I fly it on MA and I do not need to "land" it, it's more like lawn darting -and it doesn't bounce a single time...

Hit the breaks before touch down.
