This force also can damage the landing gear and in extreme cases cause them to fail as happened in this instance. These forces fight and exert an uncomfortable side force on the passengers. And also, as the gear gain more traction, the airplane will begin to go in their direction. The inertia of the airplane keeps it tracking in the same direction so when the wheels touch, there is a force put on the gear, dragging them in the direction the airplane wants to go.
When your wheels make contact with the runway, they still want to go in the direction they are pointed. When you land in a crosswind, your landing gear are aimed in a different direction than your track over the ground. If this isn’t done correctly, the aircraft will sideload. Many simmers do not use the right technique, or any at all, to manage a crosswind when landing. In all, it feels better for the passengers, it's safer for everyone, and it helps out the air traffic controller.
This gives you the distance you need to safely and comfortably slow the aircraft down so you can vacate the runway in a timely manner. When landing, it is ideal to touchdown as early on the runway as deemed necessary. Here are some of the other biggest factors: In reality, the smoothness of a landing is only one of many factors that play into the perfect landing. Whilst “landing rate” is used by so many simmers to judge landings, it really isn’t an accurate indicator of smoothness and certainly doesn’t tell anywhere near the whole story. To quote the rules directly: “Touchdown vertical speed will be assessed with the aid of the well known ‘landing speed plugin’” ( Laminar). Even Laminar has used this concept to judge landings in their recent landing competition at the 2019 FSExpo. The term “landing rate” is used to describe the smoothness of one’s landing by using the vertical speed an aircraft is traveling at the exact time its wheels touchdown (usually in feet per minute - fpm). In today’s flight simulation community, many like to use “landing rate” to determine the quality of their own landings or even to judge the landings of others.
