Touchdown!

Flight testing at 40,000 feet!

New video showing the work we have done on the new update. Feedback, as always, is welcome!

In an airliner you would declare an emergency and ATC would direct you to the nearest available and capable airport. In a GA aircraft, ATC would do the same, but you could use the "nearest" function of your GPS if you have one. Laminar also produces a product called Xavion. It will get you to the nearest airport in the event of an engine failure.

Either ATC or the FMS is equipped with the ALTN page. There you can view the closest airports that have a long enough runway to land and the time it takes you to get there Plus in your flight briefing package you have some alternate airports planned in

On my way from Munich to Düsseldorf I let a real life A320 pilot fly the Jardesign 320neo in X Plane and he didn't manage to land it softly even after 5 tries... So it is literally impossible to land it softly...

Shut the engine down by pulling the fuel valve handle under the throttle lever. Then you discharge the left engine fire bottle. Under the Throttle Quadrant there are two red handles. If you pull the left one to the left or right, the extinguisher will discharge. See if one discharge extinguishes the fire. If not then pull the handle in the opposite direction to discharge the second bottle. Then disconnect the generators and the left engine bleed air. Start an emergency descend to FL170 and start the APU+connect the APU Gen and the APU Bleed to power the hydraulics and to keep the packs alive. Then divert to the nearest adequate airport Have fun and good luck!!

NTJ811B NEXTJET EIGHT ONE ONE BRAVO DEP: EGHI (Southampton, UK) DEST: EIDW (Dublin, Ireland) LEVEL: FL200 ROUTE: DCT TABEN DCT KENET L9 STU M17 VATRY DEPARTURE First flight with the Carenado Beechcraft 1900D. First flight from Southampton. First flight into Dublin. After spending about half an hour studying charts for Southampton and Dublin, it takes me another 20 minutes in the cockpit to get everything ready for departure. In a matter of seconds, the powerful twin turboprop takes off to the sky. CRUISE Having flown out of the hazy London area, it's time to enjoy the views from 20000 feet. Some 25 minutes later the conditions become IMC again, but only for a little while. APPROACH & LANDING Busy time keeping everything right on the VATRY1X arrival. Sneaking below the clouds reveals Ireland's Eye, just when intercepting localizer for runway 28. Approach is silky smooth. Beechcraft 1900D handles very nicely. I admit the landing could have been better ;] TAXI & PARKING After rather long taxi via Bravo, Mike, Link 5 and Foxtrot Inner, we safely arrive at stand 118 S. With shutdown checklist complete there's nothing else to do, but exit the cozy cockpit. Not for long i hope!

Early morning off the coast of northern B.C.

Still enjoying the DC-3, this time flying around Cape Cod in a cold winter rain.
