A lot depends on your system. Also, SP1 and SP2 (if you do not have Acceleration) really help as well. FPS shouldn't be your only guide to getting FSX to run smoothly.
Turning off traffic and ships and cars, etc...helps.
Turning sound off adds about 3-4 FPS
Anything FPS wise over 30 is overkill since your brain can't really process more than that.

I curently get around 15 to 16 FPS when I am coming into land or takeoff but sometime the FPS drop down to 5 or 6.

Depending on your system specs - that's normal - as you get closer to more dynamic scenery (airports with traffic, etc.) your computer is going to work harder to render the images/scenery. That's the worst time to have that happen. Try turning your AI traffic to 0% on all settings and head in to KATL or something and see if that changes it. Also, if you are online with FSX, make sure your AI traffic is off...and if you are using FSInn, adjust the multiplayer range to 9 and hide static aircraft.

Turning off all AI Traffic does help a lot. Any more tips are encouraged.
