Default RE: How do I slow down?

How longs is the runway at your field? Shorter than the real flight sim? I would NOT stress running off the end of the runway if you are landing close to the beginning of the runway in the first place. I fly heavy metal and alot of the techniques describe above are, in my opinion of little use to you at this point. Practice landing on the beginning 1/4 of the runway. Otherwise go around. If too fast just use rudder to skid a little and turn 180 before end of runway. Skidding will bleed off lots of speed. When mastered this then practice more complicated stuff. I am a firm believer in a landing above stall speed at all times. What do you have tO lose on sim time anyway. Welcome to a great hobby!
