Landing at runway?

[mdcasey]

I have a plane in 75x75 orbit. I'm having trouble de-orbiting it to land at the kSC runway. Where should I put my periapsis and what altitude should it be. Thanks for the help.

Well it really depends on the planes aero drag much more now. Yet, you can also take advantage of this by using airbrakes more or less to fine tune the landing spot. It will be fun to describe in text, but I shall try. Opposite the KSC there is a very large continent of land, and just at the end of it there is a narrowish bay and then the tip of a peninsula. I usually do my retro burns at that peninsula and set my apoapsis for 22-33 km depending on the thing I am deorbiting.

Thanks for the help. I'll give it a go. I think I may have just used my airbrake a little too much.
