DTTA to HLLT (October 22th, 2008) Tunis, Tunisia to Tripoli, Libya

It has been so long from the last time I posted, I can't remember a lot about these flights, so the pictures will have to do for awhile and hopefully it will come back to me.

  
Caught a Qatar A330 just about to land...cool!

  
Flying over the northern coast of Africa.

  

Landing Score:129.44

Landing included the following problems:

  • Ballooning during landing - needs practice.

Flight Score:138.11

Flight included the following problems:

  • Steep banking - save your aerobatic flying for some other time.
  • Rapid descent - dangerous and uncomfortable.

HLLT to HLGT (October 24th, 2008) Tripoli, Libya to Ghat, Libya

Another one of those flights with absolutely no scenery....and a non-ILS that was botched up.

  
Cool looking Adria plane.  Tried to capture a few pictures from the Tower.

  
And this is what the desert looks like at 25,000 feet....and another hour later....and with some rocks....sheez.

Landing Score:0.00

Distance from runway numbers (visual approach): 2476 feet

A splendid landing!

Flight Score:138.98

Flight included the following problems:

  • Narrowly missed tail strike - watch your pitch: this could have been bad.
  • Poorly trimmed aircraft - trimmers are there to help: use them.

Can't remember much about this one, but at least a city with some scenery...

  
Niamey looks like it's city was built upon a river.

  
Approaching over river, a little city life, and a larger airport for a change.

DRRN to DFFD (October 28th, 2008)  Niamey, Niger to Ouagadougou, Burkina (Say that one?)

Ole, you are going to have to trust me on this.  I accidently exited out of FSFS before entering numbers.  I did get a landing score.

GABS to GOOY (October 30th, 2008)  Bamako, Mali to Dakar, Senegal

Another mandatory WWT landing.  Oh, what do you know, let's go ahead and add crappy weather.  I'm going to get a rash of zero's with my landing on this side of Africa.  It has nothing to do with my landings but problems with FSX and the ILS airport runways.  Ole can vouch for me.

  


  
Oh yea!  Just about the time I'm gonna land, let's go ahead and and some ground fog.  Thanks FSX!

  
Oh crap, there's a city underneath those clouds.  And then after battling all that, let's go ahead and give me a zero!

Landing Score:0.00

Landing included the following problems:

  • Poor glideslope on ILS approach - you can do better.
  • Poor alignment with runway on ILS approach - line up and stay there.
  • Wings not level - danger of clipping the ground or damaging your gear.
  • Nowhere near the centre line - get lined up and keep it that way.
  • Throttle(s) forward - should be idle.
  • Poor steering after landing - stay on the centre line.

Flight Score:135.89

Flight included the following problems:

  • Wings not level near ground - danger of clipping a wing.
  • Rapid descent - dangerous and uncomfortable.
  • Narrowly missed tail strike - watch your pitch: this could have been bad.

GOOY to GBYD (October 30th, 2008)  Dakar, Senegal to Banjul, Gambia

JoeMini WWT president announced this week of another aircraft sponsor.  A sleek new Mooney Bravo had joined the fleet, and will begin service on this flight.  A short 97nm trip down the coastline.

  


  


  


  

I'm gonna chalk this up to I was still learning this plane on the fly....that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Landing Score:42.29

Landing included the following problems:

  • Poor glideslope on ILS approach - you can do better.
  • Poor alignment with runway on ILS approach - line up and stay there.

Flight Score:96.60

Flight included the following problems:

  • Poorly trimmed aircraft - trimmers are there to help: use them.

Definite room for improvement...
