Practice practice practice!
For the Boeing 737 try full flaps and a threshold speed of about 140kias. Make sure you're lined up at least 3 nm out or you won't have enough time to correct.
Can't speak for the MD - never flown one!

i think the landing procedure for a MD-80 is almost the same,but a bit faster...about 150 KIAS.

Yeah, more flaps and less speed for the 737, should glide right down!  8)

As for the MD-80,  my air file and panel seems to want to "keep pushing" itself upon desent. It depends on what air file and panel you have downloaded since the Microsoft MD-80 default does not come with one. I need to keep my airspeed to about 140kias and full flaps and line myself up far in advance. It likes to "bob" up and down.

Oh and yes, Practice, Practice, Practice !!! Grin Grin
