VH-KDK Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 The second part of my maiden flight in the Meteor following 1. A quick search on the GPS to find the nearest airport with a substantial length of runway. Bit blurry scenery though. 2. Flying mostly GA I forgot that I can really throw the Meteor around. 3. On approach to EDDG Munster/Osnabruke, over 1 mile of runway should be long enough. 4. Too low, have to increase power. 5. Sadly not wide enough, lost sight of the runway and ended up on the grass. A bong is always good after a hairy landing. 6. Down in one piece and will have to practice landings a lot more. That was highly enjoyable. Will have another go later this morning and as the missus is out shall be able to crank up the volume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernd1151 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Hey, Martyn, next time you make a stop-over at my hometown airport Münster-Osnabrück, do let me know in advance, so I can fetch you and we have a few cold ones together. After that, landings will be so much easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
