A321 and A330-900 is dropping

Post by David0711er » Sat Dec 16, 2023 1:41 pm

Hello pilots,

i have a question or maybe a problem. When i am landing the plane. Like 3-5 seconds before the touchdown, the plane is randomly dropping on the Runway and i cant controll it or pull the plane up. It happens when it says 50-40-30. (I got enough speed and flaps are full).

Thanks for help.

Kind regards
David

are you retarding the throttles when it tells you to 'retard'?

so I don't understand, how is power being managed till touchdown ?

you are manually operating speed/power from finals to touchdown?

you need to disable the autothrotle when it tells you to 'retard' that way the plane keeps the speed and once you retard it will touch down smoothly.
