Jack Sawyer Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 P3D Orbx everything PMDG's new 737 NGXu Made a test flight around PAJN in the new toy. It's very nice. The weather was bad but it's good, I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingleaf Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Great shots Jack. That weather is just "Ducky" and I do like your new toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olderndirt Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I see scimitars. Interesting in your second shot - you're flying runway heading for departure but the approach fix is that clearing off your left wing. That's where the flashers are and the sequence lights to the runway threshold begin. When you're over the final approach fix on Coghlan Island you must have the flashers in sight to continue otherwise execute missed. This all puts you a final approach course about twenty degrees left of runway heading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said as this is one of my favorite approaches to any airport but in this case I was flying everything by hand. No SID or STAR, I was actually using the terrain radar to navigate.

Now I can't wait till they release the shorter versions. But Juneau in my little Orbx world looked fantastic in the winter time, I loved it.
