UBBB to UDYZ (November 28th, 2008) Baku, Azerbaijan to Yerevan, Armenia

Got to regroup after that last wreck, amazing out of the hospital with just a few stiches, a bruised ego, and a lot of unhappy passengers.

I accidently deleted my pictures folder for this flight...sorry fans...but evidently by my score, I really botched things up anway.

Landing Score:35.64
Landing included the following problems:

Too hard - may have damaged your landing gear.
Not near the centre line - you can do better.

Flight Score:88.98
Flight included the following problems:

Exceeding flap speeds - your flaps may be damaged: have them checked.
Poorly trimmed aircraft - trimmers are there to help: use them.

UGGG to UKBB (November 28th, 2008) Tbilisi, Georgia to Kiev, Ukraine.

Long 781 nm flight for me. Hate these long ones, but I gotta do it and get it over with. Hope the weather is good? 2.5 hour flight.

Wow...good morning leaving Tbilisi. Looking back at a nice Mountain range....Mrs. Robinson seems happy lately overlooking the land going by.


Been following this plane all the way to Kiev, but let's go ahead and make the weather crappy.


Can't see crap, let's bring her in, remain calm, and focus.

Landing Score:54.00 (Crap!)
Landing included the following problems:

Too hard - may have damaged your landing gear.
Not near the centre line - you can do better.
Poor steering after landing - stay on the centre line.

Definite room for improvement...

Flight Score:150.50 (I believe this is my highest one to date?)

A smooth flight!

UKBB to UUDD, Russia (November 28th, 2008) Kiev, Ukraine to Moscow, Russia

400 nm flight to another dreary country. Is it ever sunshine here? No wonder why vodka is drank so much?

Ukraine livery in the background. And a Ukraine 737 landing as I taxi out to active runway.

Leaving Kiev and off to Moscow. I'm really getting sick of these runways being off with FSX. I nutted the landing but the ILS is about 20 feet off to the right. Sucks!

Landing Score:0.00

Landing included the following problems:

Poor alignment with runway on ILS approach - line up and stay there.
Too hard - may have damaged your landing gear.
Nowhere near the centre line - get lined up and keep it that way. (I would if the freakin' runway was correct)

Flight Score:140.98 (Thank goodness for a trusty flight score)

Flight included the following problems:

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

Well chugged my fair share of Vodka in a taste test contest at a local supermarket of Vodka's. Hope I'm ready to fly in the morning...I don't want any bad weather to deal with!

Russian Transaero 747 in the background. New Livery that I haven't seen yet. Taxing out to active.

Sun coming up...should be a good day. Errr..end that note...check out this crappy visibility.

Poor glideslope on ILS approach - you can do better.
Too hard - may have damaged your landing gear.

My 170th flight in the WWT. Only 3 more stops to go! Yea baby. I can smell the 1/2 way point.

Lot's of neat scenery, rivers, mountains, and valleys. Cool!


Got a good feeling about this landing....awesome!

Landing Score:135.90

A splendid landing!

Flight Score:145.46

A smooth flight!
