With my department releasing our COVID responsibilities to other agencies, I’ve finally had some time to get back into simming.
Got back in the 377 after taking a long, long hiatus bouncing between the ‘Fort and the Connie. Came back around to my first A2A experience, the original queen of the skies, and forgot how steep a learning curve she has. These R4360’s seem a lot finickier than the Connie’s R3350’s.
Embarrassed to say I couldn’t get the power stable for my approach, and did a steep (although smooth) nose wheel first landing lol.

Re: Back in the (strat) saddle
Good stuff Scott. Save the hotrod approaches until next week.
Stick to something like an ILS approach with a 10nm final from 3000 ft AGL.
This will help get configuration, speed and power sorted well before touchdown.
Nothing wrong with a front wheel landing in the Strat. Think of it as feeler tyres out front, kinda like insects have antenae.
It will come back pretty quick i'm sure.
