Follow this basic step-by-step guide to learn how to land:

   1. Press Shift+3 to bring up the GPS and set-up a flight plan and then set- up an approach to the           airport you want to land at - learn how to use the GPS here.

   2. Then you can either use the new pink line on the GPS to manually turn and follow it, or do the           following: flick the 'GPS/Nav' switch to GPS, turn on the 'Nav Hold' switch and turn on the                 'Autopilot Master' switch.

   3. [Optional] You can also set-up the rest of the autopilot, including speed and altitude - learn               how to do this here.

   4. As you further approach the airport, continue to decrease both your altitude and your speed. As         a guide for your altitude, as you come much closer to the runway, use the PAPI lights to guide           you - more about PAPI.

   5. Once below 10,000 feet, turn on your Landing Lights and if flying at night, turn on your Logo             Lights and Wing Lights - your Strobe Lights should have already been on throughout the flight.         Also ensure your 'Fasten Belts' sign is on.

   6. Also when below 10,000 feet, ensure your speed does not exceed 250 knots - continue to lower         it as you continue to decend.

   7. Lower your flaps throughout your decent, so that they're out fully when you are 6nm away from         the airport (shown in top right of GPS display).

   8. When looking at the GPS, as you begin to get onto the pink line (if you have a approach set-             up), bring down the landing gear.

   9. Do not flare at this point (lift the nose of the aircraft), stay level - it will take some practise to             judge what speed and altitude to be at when at certain points on approach.

   10. When close enough, disable all autopilot (to land with autopilot (ILS) tap here) except the                Speed. You can leave the 'Nav Hold' switch on to maintain line with the runway, however this is          never done in real life. At this point, you should set your speed to just above your landing                  speed.

   11. When you're even closer and your altitude is at 1,000 feet and you have the correct PAPI                     lights, adjust your speed to 'landing speed'. For a Boeing 737-800 in good conditions                         with average fuel and payload (weight of crew, passengers and cargo), landing speed is 140               knots.

   12. If you find you're not quite in line with the runway, perform very gentle adjustments to correct           it. If you're out of line by some margin or you're too high or too low, go around.

   13. As you cross the runway threshold (the start of the runway), put your engine to idle (0%).

   14. Pull back to lift the nose of the aircraft to flare for landing and allow the aircraft to glide along           the runway until it touches down. Do not flare more than 2-3 degrees nose pitch up. More on             flaring.

   15. When the back wheels touch-down, engage the speed brake (/) and the reverse thrusts (hold            F2 for a few seconds) as the nose lowers to the ground. When you reach 60 knots, apply the              brake.

   16. Just as you're at the speed to turnoff the runway, press F1 to put the engines to idle and then           soon after apply thrust to taxi.

   17. Once down to 10-20 knots (depending on angle of exiting taxiway), turn off onto the taxiway.            As doing so, lower the speed brake and then soon after, the flaps. Also turn off your Landing              Lights and Strobe Lights and turn on your Taxi Lights. Find out how to taxi here. And that's it!
