BF109F touchdown speed


Recommended Posts

Posted

It' s definitly 150 km/h as is the BF109E not 160...

 

I'm doing patterns and landings for weeks. At higher airspeeds she bounces.extremly - excessively. Might be a bug, might be that the F is more like the E (orininal german manual) than the G (different engine / heavier plane).- that's what I tend to think.. At a 150 km/h touchdown she might bounce but it's realistic -  at speeds above that she's a donkey. Any thoughts on this? Your expierence?

I usually land with 160~180. I think vertical speed is more important than airspeed.

That's what I thought until now and reading the E manual. Problem is the 109 has no VSI. What is your appraoch like? Shallow or steep

? The german manuals stress you should have a steep apporaoch. If I do a normal appraoch I'm blind.

Oh I didn't know that. It's been a month since I played BoS.. no time play game these days  :(

 

Anyways, I approach with 200km/h with full flaps, at the moment when the runway is right below me, reduce the throttle to 0%, reduce my speed using stick and bam, touch down.

 

This is one of my video with Bf109 landing in it, go to 10:00. Hope this helps.

she bleeds speed very fast, so your approach at idle over RWY makes sense. If you don't bounce you're probably at 150 after flare
