jotaedo Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 hi all, has been a lot of time without posting, i've been busy with countless issues, however today i managed to do some simming, So i decided to continue this old series of stories. last time I left an DC-3 parked in the Ramp of Nantucket, pretty atlantic destination, however still have some trips to complete. Grab this beauty in a recent sale, C421 Golden Eagle Getting everything done for taxi, very friendly ATC, kindly provided by the Boston ARTCCv, I love flying VATSIM, note the cherokee on his way to the runway Engine run up Cleared for take off, once airborne fly runway heading, then direct to ACK VOR, climb to 2000 expect 6000 later.... Above the clouds, lots of IFR in front of me.... winter in New england seems to be quite a serious thing descending, some place near 6B6. Fortunately my beloved air nav pro ipad app, can be connected to p3d, outstanding help to navigate Gear down, flaps down, we are fully committed to land, god bless RNAV approaches must confess, not very stable, but final at least Rwy vacatedtaxi everyone get down of my plane, thanks! Aircraft secure, time to have some rest, since tomorrow i have to take an Arrow to 2B2 Early morning Walk Around and preflight Engine Running, after a few checklist steps, we are ready for taxi Sadly i don't have mor screenshots from this particular trip. it was quite a difficult flight (mostly because i didn'tt know how to properly operate the Autopilot) anyhow screens should be quite boring gray clouds, grey sky, grey plane, to much IFR i think... about the arrival, i Managed to find the runway (thanks to GNS 650) Downwind Little high but, just like the arrow IV, younger t-tail brother.... this plane will fall like a piano when you let him.... and here we are in a rock solid short final to rwy 28 and quick jump to the next plane, the old trusty Seminole you may have seen in my older series of flights in the PNW.... Taking off rwy 10 Positive Climb and gears coming up...!!!!! Solid IFR approaching Bar Harbour we are going really fast, gear down and just one notch of flaps to decelerate the plane, the remaining flaps will follow later...but only with runway secured and in sight Runway in sight! way above the minimums, time to disengage the AP and the FD, full flaps, throttle back, nose up to reduce speed, we are really fast anyway, however, the runway is large enough Landing roll! And parked! this is all for now, expect to continue the series, since all of this started I have acquired a few other ORBX products in the Americas... if you follow this series to the very beginning (PA38 near Lake Tahoe) you will find this was intended as a road trip diary through all of the american sceneries of my, always growing, ORBX collection. Bonus Track, last week I took (for second time in my life) the CPL+IFR Checkride in a lovely 172. the instructor stated at the very beginning of the briefing he was not allowing the use of any electronic device, so i have to managed the navigation using my old and trusty E6B, my paper charts and my plotter... hard work to be honest, however, i'm really proud about myself since i'm still perfectly capable to calcule everything without any electronic device, so.... this is me with a very large smile just a few minute after signing calcification sheet posing with the C172N Happy new year to all and be sure to check the previous chapter ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
