Ok Chaps,
My first ever commercial flight WITH passengers didn't go too well

Got up 8am to find beautiful blue skies and not a cloud in sight (just like the weatherman said).

Got to the airport and still no probs.

However, once I was onboard my bird..........
within seconds all hell broke loose

Looks like I'll be doing this IFR then

Got airborn (slightly difficult with 60kt cross-winds)
and out of London (no pics - trying too keep control ),
things aren't looking too bad..........
Over Southampton - London in background

All was trouble-free from then on, until I approached St. Mawgan (EGDG)..........
Turning for final

"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking.
You may encounter some sideways motion upon landing, DO NOT be alarmed it's just a little cross-wind "
Coming down

Passed the threshold AND the landing-zone (not to worry, I CAN do this )
A little off-center methinks

The cross-wind I mentioned earlier
Still looking good

Touchdown ! ! !
Knew I'd make it

Parked (should be safe now )
Air Frog France in distance (no offence)

Phew that was rough - I think I'll try flying somewhere else next time

Thanks for watching...

Some Edits From Flight

maybe u should wash the seats for ur next group of passangers just incase there was some leecage

LOL - Now it wouldn't be any fun if it was bright 'n sunny.

Cool shots - what's the aircraft and where can I get it?

Whoops - it's a BAe-146, right?

Indeedy

Here's the base a/c that I used

and here's the paint scheme

Both go straight to the d/load (don't worry they are the right ones - I checked)

Happy flying (hope you do better than me )
