A real Virgin
Posted: Tue Jul 21, 2009 2:50 pmI have grown very fond of this complex model.
Did a flight from Launy to Sydney.
Just passed 10 000 feet, speed up to 280 knots, landing lights off and checking flight systems.
The office, complete FMC. I am a prop guy and must admit, all those manual calculations, time of decent, appropriate decent rate, head wind and fuel calculations are now all done for me.
Getting dark.
Just to show, I have not forget the plane who taught me how to fly. Set for 105 knots, no autopilot, trimmed perfectly at 4000 feet.
Happy flying!
