Well seeing as how I was at home sick for the past 3 days I decided I might as well get some serious flying time in!  :P

So I decided to take on my longest leg of the trip so far. I went from Quebec City, Quebec to St.Johns, Newfoundland. The trip was 759 nm and took about 4 hours! I learned many valuable lessons along this trip but one of the most valuable lessons I learned is that I need to get a more comfortable office chair!  ::)

This flight took me over the north part of Maine, New Brunswick, across the Gulf Of St. Lawrence and on into Newfoundland.

Current location..


Route Info...


Warming up the engines and loading flight plan into GPS


Seeing as how this was going to be fairly long trip, I figured that I better fill'er up!


And cleared for takeoff...


Good climb rate...and gear up...


Leaving the beautiful city of Quebec...


Leaving the east cost of New Brunswick and heading into the Gulf of St.Lawrence...


Reaching the west coast of Newfoundland..


Cleared for landing and flying the downwind leg..


Lining up for final...just a wee bit off course!  ::)


Lined up nicely now...


There was a bit of gusty wind which made my landing a little bouncy, thus the dust...


Parked and secured and heading out for a good stretch!


Thanks for watching and comments/suggestions/criticism is always welcome!

do you use the auto pilot during your flights?

After I takeoff and get kind of on course, then I click on AP to hold course and altitude...

Once I get close to my destination, then I turn off AP and land myself...(no ILS)

okay,but what about time compression?

If you mean do I 'Slew' are speed up real time...the answer is...I do neither.

All my flights are in real-time...

As I mentioned in the post, I was home sick so I had nothing to do all day...  ;)

Out of curiosity, why do you ask?!

nice shots

  Hey that was you parked next to me in St John's, Cherokee.  A buddy and I were just warming up the Lear to head back to Gander when you pulled in next to us.   Wish I knew you were coming.  Geez, would have been great to meet you!!!!

Good Luck

i was just curious. i think that FS is quite boring without time compression. i mean,nothing happens up there,except changing some radio frequencies and looking out of the virtual windows. or do you have the kneeboard-browser?

Boring?! I don't think so....

Actually I find it very relaxing...I have my AI traffic maxed out so I sit back and listen to the traffic, I constantly look for a good screen shot, or I will just enjoy the view of part of the country that I may never get to see!

To me it better then sitting for 4 hours shedding blood and blowing up everything in site!  ;)
