  • Ian Place writes: “I tried hard to do a manual approach because the ILS 4L and 4R are inop on my Flight Sim, also the ILS is off to the left on 11, so my effort failed. I should of done a go-around but I would of faced the same problem”
  • Mark Barnette writes: “Thanks for the explanation of the hard landing, Ill accept it since you owned up to it. Always remember, a bad landing is caused by a bad approach.”
