MSFS 2024 Landing Challenges

Landing challenges are fun. MSFS 2024 sets you up on final and you get to do a landing. One of the most fun activities in the aviation sim.

The landing challenges in MSFS 2024 really are a challenge. In 2020, you would get a good description of the objectives and a few hints. In 2024 you are on your own.

In MSFS 2024 you get no information on the task and no feedback on where you can improve.

On many of the challenges that I have done, you have to figure out some issues really quickly or else you are going to crash and fast.

Why do more people not do these challenges? No one talks about them. These challenges allow you to do a quick flight complete with a landing in 5 or 7 minutes.

I will give you some examples in case you are not familiar with landing challenges.

Last night I did a challenge where you start off in an A320, too high, in a stall with both engines flamed out. This is what I call a challenge!!

Here is the Brisbane challenge. Again, you start out too high, both engines flamed out, you are in a stall and in IMC. Wild!

Akureryi, Iceland in an A320. Flamed out engines again upon spawning.

This is a 737 Max Challenge in Sao Paulo. You start the flight with no avionics.

If you are looking for the most normal landing challenge I have come across so far, try Orlando in the 737 Max.

:rofl: I don’t think those were designed to be part of the challenge!

Bilbao landing challenge starts the A320 in a stall with both engines flamed out. Why does MSFS like starting challenges this way? What was the brain trust thinking out of interest?

Why don’t you tune the NAV radio to the ILS frequency?
