Hey Peeps,

I was just wondering how far I can push my A319 on approach with 75% weight?

I am coming in at about 120-125knts but still landing at about 250ft/m - just wondering how far I can push it - was looking at 90-110kts, is this realistic?

Anything under 115 knots at 75% weight isn't realistic. The fact that your hitting the runway at 250fpm could be that you are actually going to slow and are plummeting towards the runway when you flare. Try adding a bit of throttle as you flare so your VS increases 😉
