Stillwater Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 No, this is not going to become another remake of John Carpenter´s movie... It was just a lovely little VFR flight out of Innsbruck on a sunny day, following the Brenner motorway... ... while Lake Garda was suspiciously hiding under clouds. Visibility went down as I moved east towards Tessera, I had to switch to IFR. As you can see in the red circle on my ACARS, I am lined between two (fast) airliners - that is the reason why I use a rather high approach speed. Unfortunately the 737 pilot in front of me did not clear the runway fast enough. Beginner! Going around gave me a little payback with the nice view of the city, not tourists in December at last (the missing TouristFlow could be another reason). Next trial wasn´t much better, but at least I was alone and could slow down. 200 ft AGL I spotted the runway lights and switched off the autopilot. Visibility wasn´t much better on the ground...

Bermuda425 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Don't like the movie, but the more I like these captures! Last time I visited Venice in FSX, the visibility was like in a muesli bowl. Season's Greetings, Bermuda425 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be just a bit wet & cold then... On 15.12.2015 at 7:51 PM, VH-KDK said: Great set and story Gerold. Your piloting skills got you down safely. Like the second last shot. That is the wonder of nature RJ. Well, all was working well here: My weather program, the sceneries, and the LOC and G/S signals. However, a bit of visibility would be more relaxing...
