[QUOTE="jb747, post: 2241378, member: 24168"] 30º angle of bank. Full speed brake. About .87 into 330 knots. Reduce to 240 knots in level flight at about 3,000' and 15 miles to run. Take the gear approaching the glide path, letting it decelerate but still maintaining level. Flap 2 as you hit the glide path. You can't let it stay fast as it hits the glide path, as it just won't slow down and go down, simultaneously. The fin of an A380 probably has a similar area to the wing of a 737. The side force involved in sideslip is huge. Too huge. The FBW would fight you too, as it doesn't like sideslip. Not a viable way to be flying on instruments either. [/QUOTE]
