Good Job ATC!

:o After learning that Props do not require reverse thrusters when landing. I learned the hard way that doing this causes the props to shut off in mid flight and causes the plane to drop like a brick and applying the brakes doesn't help either.

So on this successfull landing in St.Thomas USVI, I learned all I needed to do was put the flaps down kill the throttle apply the airbrakes then gradually apply the main brakes to come to a stop!

Take a look at this pic. I happened to notice two aircrafts coming in for a landing. Then I noticed that it was actually 3 planes :o! Two planes were over lapping one another and i think ATC caught wind of this and ordered one of them to back off and go around!

by the way that aircraft is the second on my list of great handling aircrafts! Available right here on SimV, She looks great and fly beautifully!
