→ Select Target Altitude @ 5 miles before start of ILS: → AUTOPILOT & AUTO THROTTLE DISENGAGE (latest 200 ft / 60 m AGL)
→ Select V/S Mode → CHECK APPROACH SPEED
→ REDUCE SPEED to 300 Km/h (with Throttle or AP)
→ Set Vertical Speed: 7.5 (1500 ft/m) - WHEN BELOW 463 Km/h → FLAPS 2°
→ @ 50ft / 15m AGL / Rwy threshold → THROTTLES IDLE
→ Check Vertical Speed - WHEN BELOW 416 Km/h → FLAPS 15°
→ Keep a NOSE UP PITCH of ~10°
→ Check / Reduce Throttle:
→ TOUCHDOWN with main wheels first & lower nose wheel
Max Speed: 600 Km/h (320 KIAS) / M 0.78 (Above FL240) When flaps 15 °:
→ Engage REVERSE until 130 km/h
→ SET ING IDLE SWITCHES TO LOW (fwd)
→ Engage GROUND SPOILERS 60°(full - If not auto deployed)
@ Transition Altitude (18,000 ft / 5486 m in MSFS):
Gear down procedure: → When below 130 Km/h:
→ SET ALTIMETER (mmHg/hPa)
