That way we probably won’t remove any lights or other obstacles on landing.

Well, thats where flight sim can differ, no lights to chew up :D.
I was aiming for the TDZ, but the wind gave up suddenly and I sank like a rock. A squirt of thrust stopped the main gears bursting through the wings on touch down LOL

One landing that realy made me sweat was a night landing in 500 foot visability in glasgow. Nav radios refused to tune in so I had no ILS. Approach talked me down.

In real life, that would be a divert. But this was flight sim and only credit was at stake 😀
