Great shots and great paints, Steve!!

I've really taken a shine to the A300 and check daily for your newest paint.

The only problem is, with my limited success at getting her back on the ground, (roughly 2 outta 3 are now fish cribs under the KSFO finals), the world supply of this beautiful plane may soon dwindle. :)

Ok Steve,

I've noticed that she gets very sluggish towards the last part of the approach, so I've been keeping the approach speed up and that seems to help a lot.

Make sure you don't try to land her with a full bag of fuel, or you'll be scuba diving for sure.



Does that mean that doing T and G with full fuel AND payload is a no-no? :P

Cheers,
Dave

P.S. keep 'em comin' :)

....I've also found that switchin' from GPS back to NAV can significantly improve your chance of establishing the localizer.  ;)

...checklist!....hey, any of you guys seen the checklist?  :P

Cheers,
Dave
