jettojig Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 A quick jaunt in the FlyJSim 737-200 this morning... ...and a flight between Humberside and Amsterdam in the CRJ-200 (my first full flight in it for ages!) in the evening. Inspired by the sighting of this real KLM F70 at Humberside during my Qualifying cross-country for my PPL! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niebieski Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 More of a report from the trip than moody screenshots, but i hope you enjoy reading it along with some photos from the journey Background:I couldn't resist downloading the new alpilotx's HD Mesh Scenery of Japan (link). As i haven't flown my favourite airliner in a while, i thought it would be a good idea to take it on a short hop inside Japan. Having taken a look at SkyVector (link) i decided for Tajima (RJBT) - Miho (RJHO) route. Nice, short (~110 nm) hop along the coastline, with the mountains to the south. Departure:Thing get pretty fast in -200 if you hand fly the departure with mountains on almost every side of the SID (Standard Instrument Departure). That's why i didn't have timeto get many screenshots, unfortunately... Passing 10000 feet & accelerating to climb speed of 285 kts - now on autopilot. Good time to take a look at the surrounding terrain and some nice looking cumulus. Cruise:Cruising comfortably at FL140. Not a typical altitude for jets, but we aren't going far this time. Tracking radial 279° outbound Miyazu VOR (YME 112.6 MHz) and that means we're on the V59 airway centerline ... more or less (no RNAV equipment!) Air New Zealand (IATA: NZ, ICAO: ANZ, Callsign: NEW ZEALAND), the national airline of New Zealand used to operate total of 24 737-200 starting from 1978 until 2001. Nav setting for the arrival and initial approach? Set. Approach briefing? Completed. Then it's time for... Descent:During descend we skim through a thin layer of stratocumulus, most likely. Turning inbound IAF (Initial Approach Fix) Yonago VOR (YVE 114.10 MHz), we're greeted by some spectacular landscape. Approach:It's really hard to concentrate on instruments with such spectacular scenery on the outside! Intercepting radial 056° outbound Yonago VOR that will allow us to descend 2000 feet, staying clear of terrain. Two Two Zero knots is the clean speed we opt for during intial approach. Maintaining desired speed on classic airliner like -200 (no autothrottle) takes a lot of attention! Landing:Overflying harbor of Sakaiminato city once again. Six miles final, flaps 15, gear down, three green. Here we are, crossing the threshold... Thanks for watching! P.S. Did anyone read it? ;] How do you like this kind of "screenshot stories"? 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
