Does a real ILS behave this way? Is there an easier way to determine the correct speed? Forgive my ignorance if I'm missing something obvious Thanks, Sammy Yes approach speed is critical. The key to a good landing is a stabilized approach. Being stabilized farther out makes it easier. Make sure the flaps are set correctly for each airspeed change. Also, you may want turn off the autopilot at 100-200 ft AGL, and flare the plane manually. Most real airliners are not flown to the ground on AP. 170 is too fast and you are hammering it into the ground. 140 is probably stalling, that's the bobbing.
