First succesful flight

[mjrhealth]

After all the years of owning this plane I have finally done my first successful flight from YPDN to YBRM, I think flying all the Embraers set me up for this. I think I was a bit on the heavy side as I was running out of throttle, but manged a heavy landing, was an RNAV approach which I had to hand fly from 2500 ft as I wasnt sure how to do the VNAV, also a short runway. But next is to YPPH which is a longer runway. Love this plane

RNAV approaches must not be flown with VNAV on the 737 classic - you should use LNAV and V/S down to the MDA.

I think in the end that is pretty much what I did, once I turned to Final set decent rate than just flew it manually made it easier for me.
