Official ZeroviZ Airlines Announcement!

Ladies and Gentlemen. Here at ZeroviZ Airlines we have a surprise for you. A short while ago, out of the blue, I heard my fax machine tick away, and curious as I am I went to see what was coming in. Moments later I sat stunned and tried to comprehend what I just read. The fax was this one:

Dear Mr. Andreasen

I have been following the progress of the FSFlyingSchool World Wide Tour for some time now. It has been interesting, and I have noticed that you are flying solely in a Learjet 45, and that your competitor has a variety of planes to choose from. I have contacted your staff to find out why, and have learned that you said from the beginning that it would only be one plane, and it was because you do not have a pilot to fly the empty plane to the nest destination where it is needed.

But I saw the other day that your competitor JoeMini added a Boeing 747 to his fleet, and I thought that now was the time to come forward with a proposal for you, so even things out a little.

I have a pending order for a series of Boeing 737´s  from the company Wilco publishers, and I would like to hand over one of those to you for the remainder of the FSFS- WWT. They will be delivered at December 1., but in the meantime I have some older 737´s in the area you are flying now. I would like to offer you to try out one - or more of those, to get accustomed with the bigger and heavier plane, than your LearJet.

And I will also be able to lend you one of my pilots, Mr. Jeff Piston, to work with you until April 1. 2009, with the sole purpose to fly the plane you are not currently flying, to the next destination.

All this will be of no cost to you, and I want nothing in return. It’s an offer that you can accept at any time. Just let me know via my fax number which is xxx-xxxx (deleted by Ole Andreasen)

Kind regards

I spent a few days to think over this incredible offer, but was reluctant, because it would be betraying my principals. On the other hand, I have some long flights coming up, over Asia, and in Australia, so a bigger plane would be a good thing, and just to see something else than the Learjet, would be nice for a change. I therefore decided that I would try it out, and therefore I now have the pleasure to introduce to you, a temporary add-on to the Zeroviz fleet, a Boeing 737-800. Later, if the test flights are successful, the plane will be exchanged with a brand new Wilco Boeing 737-300, -400 or -500.

And also a warm welcome to the newest member of this little ZeroviZ family, directly from Mangrovian Airlines, our emtpy-plane-pilot´ Mr. Jeff Piston, a highly skilled pilot.

Let the wild rumpus begin!

A very big thank you to Mr. R.Ichman for his kindness, and off we go, to test the 737.

Thank you for your attention.

HSSS (Khartoun - Sudan) to (HECA Cairo - Egypt)

Transitioning to the Boeing 737 is not as easy as I might have thought. Everything is in a different place. the feel of the plane is completly different, and flying it, is also very different from the Learjet, but then again there is such a thing as beginners luck, and I relyed on that, and took the 737 directly into the WWT instead of testing it first. The results are as follow:

 
A beautiful morning in Sudan - a promise of a good start for my 737 career.                                             Is that left or right, Smith?

 
So far so good. Everything seems to go smooth and by the numbers.                                                   Please continue to read the manual loud Smith.

 
OK we are soon there. lets go through the pre-landing checklist                                             Oh shamrock - that is in my handbad - in the Lear. We just have to do it by hand Smith.

Great! I pulled the wrong switch. Flicked on the autopilot and in the panic, didn´t get if off again in time. That cost me a 33% reduction. Result is the first flightscore below 100 in a very very long time. But if you add those 50% to the below scores, then it is one heck of a good flight, so I smile regardless.

Smith, what do we get from that?

You don't want those spoilers on until you land on the ground.  Shift - / will arm them and they will come on automatically on touchdown.

Just trying to help...
