How to unlock the A Few Bumps achievement in Microsoft Flight Simulator - Definitive Guide

This unlocked for me on the second strong wind challenge "Funchal, Portugal" where the winds are 25 knots. I've uploaded a video of it below. Despite the challenge being in an airliner, it's a pretty easy challenge to complete as the approach is quite easy to line up and the plane isn't as hard as a boeing 747 to handle.

Note that you don't even need to successfully complete the challenge for this achievement, you just need to touch down on the runway.

This achievement seems to be buggy and it doesn't work on some missions despite them being in excess of 15 knots.

I've completed several strong wind landing challenges with "True to Life" assists but it doesn't unlock. Also tried to set up landings in the world map with strong enough winds but no luck.

I tried it again today on the Gibraltar Challenge with True to Life settings and after a few attempts it unlocked, it seemed to unlock when i landed at near prefect for the challenge.

Not sure what the issue is. Is it possible you activated autopilot or AI control briefly by accident? I'm pretty sure I just used the default settings when I did this challenge and it popped the achievement as soon as I landed.

I've generally done all of them and still no achievement I've made sure I don't have any assistance on and just left it to the game as well but still hasn't popped

Sorry to hear that. I definitely had issues with this achievement on all the other missions. It only unlocked on this particular one for me.

For anyone still struggling to get this, try “Gibraltar, United Kingdom” I just unlocked the achievement first try after following this guide with no luck.

Still can't get this one to pop. Just got an A landing at Gibraltar with autothrottle turned off and still no joy.
I've tried a free flight and setting multiple wind layers to 50 plus kts. And still nothing.
Definitely bugged.
I'll just keep trying various landing challenges and hope it happens.

I did the Portugal landing challenge. Got a C. Didn't unlock until two days later when randomly flying over Las Vegas.

Finally got this! Definitely a very buggy achievement. Unlocked it on the Innsbruck landing challenge with True to Life assistance settings. Although I do not think assistance options matter - I say this because when you open the assistance options during a landing challenge, all of the options are greyed out and it's a preset called "Landing Challenge."
