VH-KDK Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 A few more from an unsuccessful flight in a CX A359. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. I don't know what I did wrong but soon after this the nose lifted into an uncontrollable stall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumbypickett Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Ah the beauty about all of this KDK is your nose will always fall back into face. I mean place. Bought my GC airport today along with GC cityscape, I shall explore tomorrow. cheers Gumby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca22au Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 The road tunnel is fascinating. The State boundary between Queensland and New South Wales lies across the southern end of the main runway. The tunnel carries the main motorway which runs the entire north south length of the Gold Coast on its western edge and on continuously to Brisbane. So, for people like me who live on the northern end of the Goldie or the Coast (local terminology), we drive west to join the motorway and then south to the airport. But the motorway is on the western side of the runway and there lies the curiosity. You enter NSW before entering the tunnel which continues into NSW, but to get to the airport entrance the road circles the southern end of the runway and on the eastern side going north you are welcomed again to Queensland. Departing on 16 your plane will be wheels up before the over-run into NSW but landing short before 34 means your accident will be in NSW. However the airport itself is federal property.......

Jack Sawyer Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Interesting flight Martyn, did you have the throttles at full power? I know, dumb question. And @macca22au Iain, this is extremely interesting stuff! I saw that tunnel and loved it. It's cool how it divides the states like that. We have a very cool tunnel I go under all the time here at KATL, it's under the "new" fifth runway. You actually drive right under the runway with planes over your head. There's no place to stop to take photos unfortunately but as you come up to the tunnel you can see that there's a 737 on top of you, it's narrow too, it looks like the plane could taxi right off and down onto the road which would be a huge disaster.

Sniper31 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Sorry to hear of the unsuccessful flight you experienced Martyn. I have no thoughts to offer, as I know not much about tubeliners. Thankfully it's only a sim flight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca22au Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Martyn: I found the QW787 just a bit naughty after takeoff. After wheels up, use forward pressure to keep the speed near the 'the overspeed red' at the top, or simply on the V2+ marker on the tape. Leave the flap, if you can until you kick in the autopilot, then bring flap up according to the marks on the speed tape. The reassuring voice of the PM also does the call-outs. Manually: trim the aircraft more nose down, reduce the climb rate to a 'calm' 2000fpm and milk the flap up according to the speed tape. If you look at the climb rate after takeoff it can be over 3000 fpm, and the speed drops into the lower red protection zone from which all evil comes. Check carefully that the right trim is set, and the stabiliser is in the green (tiny indicator at the top of the ECAM). Busy planes on takeoff, sleep making over the long legs, and then actually not bad on approach and landing. I don't flare airliners, the angle of attack has already got them in a landing attitude, and I concentrate on speed control and the altitude call-out to chop the throttle: but wait for the purists to snarl.

macca22au Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 PS Martyn the plane, ready at the departure end of 34 is almost entirely in NSW but will roll forward into Queensland. With YSPT, the sewage plant and the state border you are right for Trivia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lars Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Martyn I'm sorry that your flight went into desaster. This is surely no quality plane. Causes could be, possibly, the center of gravity, or elevator trim, or you took off to early at a too low speed. Or the fancy Airbus logic, but I don't know if this plane is advanced enough to simulate the Airbus logic of flying into desaster: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_296 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
