Here are a few shots of my ssecond solo. To read my little blog: http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2 ... 453564/0#0


Waiting on the ground


Quick downwind shot

I may have a few more tomorrow from my second nav.

Nice work. Glass cockpit too. 8-)

What airport you flying at?

Finally in the Photos forum...  You'll see that many more people will look at them now.

Glad to see you're moving along... just don't get too wrapped up in taking photos, much as we like to see them.

I fly at Moorabbin YMMB.

Rotty - Of course my priority is flying the aircraft, that's why I only took a shot when waiting at the holding point and on downwind all nicely trimmed and a few moments to spare.

Ooh - look at you with ya lah-dee-dah glass cockpit!  :-*

LOL, only kidding Wingo, great shots! I think most of us here can only dream about getting into a 182 with a glass cockpit.

Keep up the good work,

TSC.

believe it or not, i hate the G1000! Give me my steam guages and I'll be happy! The system is far to confusing for GA, I still get lost doing ordinary things like tuning radios and bugging altitudes/headings. All the knobs are clustered so close together, and all look the same it is easy to confuse one for the other. I started on steam guages, even though for a brief period, and I still prefer them. I can see the value of a glass cockpit, just not in a Cessna.

This is what you get when you let a programmer design it and and not a interface designer. Doesnt surprise me a bit.
