"Hi guyz, Listen to this, i flew my Atlas Charter form WMKK to LIMC on friday. I left from there at 13.00UTC and got to milan at 4.03UTc...smooth flight . No reported problems, the bird was flying perfectly....this is the figures i had on FSacars on touch down...Touchdown at -153ft/min and 159 kts( Vref for this flight). After touching...spoilers out...reverse trust....going down slowly from the front ....as soon as the front wheel touches the ground.....CRASH!!!!!!!!!!! ....What the hell???....its the first time it happens to me....i have 50 Landings or more on this thing....and i am Type certified( PMDG rules and REg.) I blew up a tire or something ...i dont know....But my question is..am i going to be stripped of those 11h of flying...im a KIA pilot ...Anyone can help me....i saved the FSacars log...if it can help my situation. Thanks guyz Saad Tawfiq...pilot 1616"

Sorry the actual figures are -89ft/min at 156kts (vref was 159)

"Saad; Did PMDG show a failure or anything? Most of us have "Crash Detection" shut off. So you might want to think about that option. Send in your PIREP, you landed and walked away, so I don't see a problem with it."

Where should i send the saved FSacars and Fs log?

If you are unable to send it the normal way (to the GC site) then you will have to contact your region admin and have them enter it for you. But be sure you try to do this only like once in your lifetime We used to have some guys that continually thrashed their regional admins with "manual" Pirep entries. You may want to look into FS Flight Keeper. It's a much easier program but it is payware... Doesn't cost much and is much easier to deal with.

"Man thats a real bummer, i had about the same thing.. my FS crashed 200 nm's from Dubai!"

"Hi there, If you use the PMDG 747 with crash detection ON, you should make sure that the runways you use for TO and landing are concrete or asphalt. btw, switching off crashdetection is not a bad idea. FS9 considers you death if your wing scratched the paint of a vehicle!! Futhermore it prevents this runway-problem. Wijnand"
