Overhead Breaks.

Two overhead break landings from last night.
I think this is pretty close to how they should look.
2000ft AGL, 250IAS on the break.
2,5G level turn from the tower.
200IAS entering base runway threshold behind the wing, dropping gear and flaps on base turn.

Comments? Questions?

If I were to be hyper-critical, I would say the first landing is a little too short. Ideally you should touch down after the first set of white bars. Nice work landing them as accurately as you did with what looked like quite strong cross winds.

Very nice David but why is it called a Break landing.

I'm guessing the term break is referring to the manoeuvre whereby the aircraft banks and pulls away.

Here's my attempt with no practice just went for it on the server when nobody was around and finish with a dead engine landing.
