Across the english channel (LHR-CDG)...

[FlyingPerson]

... in what else than a jet aircraft? You should know my type-of-aircraft routines by now. But at least i'm flying a baby bus now! The A318 is so cool

One of my favorite takeoff angles.



Climbing to 25,000 feet over the United Kingdom.



Over the english channel.



Closing in on France (A lot of it cropped away due to blurry ground + some small jaggies on the belly of the 318 due to compression :S)



On approach to runway 09L.



One of my best landings in quite a while.. ALMOST bang on the centerline.



And last but not least, AF showing Air Transat and Cathay Pacific who is the main airline at CDG.

Click me!

Beautiful model  :o and I like all the shot ,but the first one is the best  ;)

[xFLAMESx]

Fantastic set of shots!
Also liking #1 the best! 8-)

Question though: Were you going overspeed in #4 by any chance?

Cheers,
Carl

Nah, I wasn't going overspeed, but I had to descend kind of quickly, so I put the descent rate to 2000 fpm, and at the same time, I wanted it to slow from 240 to 200 knots, so I had to use the speed brakes. It worked after a few minutes

The first shot actually looks real. Wow.

I love the first shot. Very realistic.

[scalper_old]

I like the first shot like everyone.

[FlyingPerson]

Thank you so much everybody! Really appreciate positive feedback.

Lovely shots

My flaps were set correctly, but every Airbus except the A380 has tiny flaps, so you can't tell it from being 1 or 20-30.

I'm not really great with approaches or glideslopes yet, that's why the VASI lights weren't cooperating. But the touchdown was at approximately 146 knots and smooth as silk (Thai Airways ripoff )
