Can someone point me in the right direction plz?

I don't really fly heavies so I can't tellyou much, but you will need more than 10 degrees of flap, I think the max is 40 degrees, which is the amount you should be landing with. As the maximum speed for the flap clicks down apply another setting of flap which will give you more lift.

Don't forget to apply more throttle as your trading drag for lift. 😉

I'm not sure the -800 qualifies as a heavy (anyone?), but let me try to help:

140 knots is a good speed all in all but not with 10 flaps - I'm sure the airplane is either stalling or really struggling to stay in the air. Your fuel and load don't sound excessive, but I don't claim any mastery over fuel issues.

A few pointers for landing:

As you descend and get near your approach speed gradually apply flaps. You will notice as you decelerate that the airplane will feel "heavier" and will want to point down (obviously subtle signs, I am not suggesting stalling =p). Apply some flaps and you'll see that the nose will want to point up and the airspeed will drop. By the way, don't be shy about flaps. As you decelerate through 210kts or so, give it 5 degrees and go from there. For your final landing use 30 degrees flaps and around 138 (depends on conditions) indicated. If you see you're coming in too fast go ahead and use 40 flaps, but I don't think that's necessary for everyday operations (again, correct me).

Another thing to remember is don't use the yoke to control the descent rate. If you're coming in steeply or too fast, give some power (not too much) and you'll see, the approach will become shallower. Don't jerk the yoke up and down. Remember to trim for each new condition and before long you'll be landing this baby nice and easy 🙂

The more flaps you have,the more power you need to stay aloft(power and not speed. You do need speed,but you need power to maintain that speed)
Also try and get setup for landing before ATC clears you(about 6 mile out)ie with flaps at 20 speed about 160/170.add more flaps and reduce speed

Try not to use the auto throttle after this also.Look at the throttles and make sure you dont have full throttle applied to your controler when switching off the A/T.try and judge the same amount of power(it will get easier with practice)
Try and maintain your speed untill you are over the threshold of the runway ,then ease off the power and feather

Next time you fly hit Alt and save the flight at about 20 miles out before landing.Then use this to practice

Horrah.

Ok, I might have changed my plane for a nice little (cute looking) Easyjet Airbus A319, but it looks like i have cracked it.

I performed a flight from London Luton to Cork (Ireland) and here are the results (fresh from FSpassengers)
