Lesson 7: Take-Off & Landing

Here you can discuss how to safely achieve taking off.

I am not sure what I am missing or doing wrong with landing lesson :pensive_face: of Navigraph Academy course

Here are the screenshots

What am I missing :disappointed_face:? Please help.

Thanks in advance

Hi!

The reason your session was not passed is because your landing scored below 75%. I realize this is very counter-intuitive since you are seeing “satisfactory” on the landing distance. This is a mistake on our part and we will amend this over the coming days. Your landing was a bit too far from the touchdown markings to pass, and the result should have said “poor” instead of satisfactory.

I apologize for the confusion text there, hopefully we can sort this out very soon. Keep working on that landing precision in the meantime!

So, I am landing a bit too deeper in the runway, instead I need to make touchdown closer to the runway ‘piano lines’, I guess? Thanks for the hint

That is correct. The touchdown marking is the thick white lines on the runway, just beyond the runway numbers. Good luck!

Thanks, let me get it right this time :+1:

I did it finally.

I have rechecked the Landing Lesson on Navigraph Academy, I believe adding an image of runway with the ‘touchdown point’ might improve the lesson .

Great job on getting a perfect score on your landing! It is a great suggestion to add an image that shows where the target is. We will look into the best placement for this.

I hope you enjoy your continued training!

I am not sure how to use these boards, so sorry in advance, I have already replied to an issue with “in progress” error.

I have completed the take off challenge Afew times but I can not get the “passed logo on the task. I think there is A bug within, here is A URL

These lessons have been great, and so appreciated.

Comment: Andy talks a little too fast for new simmers and older folks.

He is a busy man. I shall ask him to slow down :smiley:

Seriously, thank you for the feedback, which I have passed on.

Cheers

I just completed a landing. By the looks of the results, I should have passed. I got dinged for speed management. The lesson indicates that at the beginning the plane is set to fly at 70kts however, the initial speed is 57kts. To recover some speed, I upped the blaps to 10 degrees, accelerated to 70kts and continued my descent and landing crossing the theshold at 62kts which ought to be ok. I landed and stopped at one of the taxi ways and ended my session.

The result was Speed control 90% maintaining speed 50% and the landing was in the 80%. I still failed.

I think this lesson is buggy.

Hey, I have passed the take off for 100% but the lesson stay “In progress” See attached the link.

Hi @AltitudeAviation34

I’ll pass this feedback on to our Academy team, thanks!

@Ruddyd Check to see if you can progress now.

Thanks!

Hi, I’m using MSFS 2020 and I can’t start the Take Off lesson because the yellow “Fly” button is greyed out and inactive. Every other lesson seems to work fine. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I’ve tried reinstalling the package via Navigraph Hub, but it’s still not working.

Ok, it looks like I figured this out. For some reason, the only way for me to start Lesson 7A is to first enter any other lesson or activity (for example, the official MSFS training lessons), then go to the pause menu and from there directly to Custom Content and into Lesson 7A.

Maybe someone will have a similar problem in the future, so here you go.

When I am loaded in to the lesson at 30 degrees flaps, it takes full throttle to maintain anything close to 70 knots while on the glide path. Is that expected?

I have no problem passing the lesson; I’m able to reduce throttle and pitch up to reduce speed to 61 knots over the threshold, but it still leaves a lot of throttle to pull back to idle for the flare, and I feel like it makes the flare phase happen very quickly because of such a drastic change in energy. If that’s normal, that’s fine, and I’m probably just fighting with the muscle memory of many years of doing it wrong (in sims).

That is a tad high, I’m following up about this with the team.

The same behaviour for me.
