What did you fly today?

[Colin S]

Good morning to the Lower Mainland! Took off from Abbotsford for a quick hop to my future home of Victoria! Can't wait to move to the island, I'm enjoying flying around it for now. Four months to go.

For my last flight of this spring break, having to quit X-Plane for a while and focusing on finishing school and work at the same time, I have a special collage for you all. 

 

Alitalia Flight 615

Boston - Rome

Flight Time 8 Hours

 

At gate in Boston, loading up for departure:

Morning over the Atlantic, showing off that special 2015 EXPO livery:

 

 

Touching down at Rome RWY 16R 

At the gate in Rome, .3x1000kgs fuel left. 5 Minutes to spare! 

 

Hope everyone enjoyed their break, Happy Easter. Happy flying!

Today's adventures take me to Thailand, and the newly converted Armi VTBS!

Sweet shot, Ben!

[Colin S]

Bit of a bumpy climb out of YYC, heading for the coast and rainy and possibly clouded in landing in YYJ. More pictures later

 

[azpilot]

Nice shot.

[Colin S]

Crashed outside of Banff while procrastiflying, took the opportunity to play with RTH and sky colours to get some cool shots.

 

[azpilot]

Beautiful sunset.

[Colin S]

Approach for Portland - I've perfected the cloud shadows settings in RTH.

CYXX-PHLI, all fueled up and doing the heavy and slow climb up to cruise. BC is beautiful in X-Plane, I think it is actually the most accurately represented of any region on earth other than Vancouver being a giant trailer park.

CYXX-PHLI resulting in fatal crash at PHLI. The flight management computer was being glitchy from the beginning, but on descent it became apparent that I would have to mickey-mouse it if I was actually going to use the ILS. It flew me a constant 5km east of the route displayed in the cockpit, including on final approach, and almost ploughed me into the mountain beside PHLI. I then circled once and attempted to land, and was a bit too stressed to remember that I was still well about 200 knots and flaps at 10. I hit the runway pretty hard and bounced. Moral of the story is turn around and land if your computer seems to be going bonkers over a simple flight plan. I love and hate this plane, it's such a beautiful and simple one to fly but when it has a problem it has a serious problem. I'm going to go for another flight now, PHLI to PHKO to see if it happens again.

My only one, I promise haha!

Almost caught that beacon light!

DHL 757-200SF from Bristol, UK (EGGD) to Southampton, UK (EGHI)

 

Short hop to enjoy great Pilot Plus sceneries for above airports, as well as great freeware UK Pro scenery by Tony.

Haven't flown the FF 757 in a while and i have to admit it is surprisingly good after all those patches.

The 1990s DHL livery does look cool on the 757 and kind of nostalgic, doesn't it?

Aegean Airlines on IVAO - Corfu to Genoa - Peter's A320 Neo

 

 

[howardthepilot1999]

Eventful flight today, inadvertent IMC and declared PAN PAN.

 

Never shall I go flying in such conditions again. Lesson learned.

 

 

 

[Colin S]

I'm binge-exporting BC Airfields/Heliports to the gateway. So far I have rebuilt CYNJ, CYXS, CZML, CAB5, CYHE, and CAU4. On the platter now is CYPZ, burns lake, which needed serious help. Every once in a while I take some time to gloriously fly around at sunset.

Hadn't flown a multi in a few months... Definitely a good feeling to be back in a more powerful aircraft.
