Matthew Kane Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 This is absolutely my favourite route in FTX with an arrival at my favourite FTX Airport....CAIRNS Getting ready to go in Brisbane: Some of the traffic along the route, seams to be a lot of competition these days... A QANTAS 737: Virgin Blue 737: And Jetstar A320: Approaching Cairns now: Making the turn to Final Approach: Looking back over the coast: Little bit of speedbrake to slow us down: Lowering the landing gear and flaps: Autopilot, Autothrottle and Autoland is turned off. It is more fun to land manually: Smooth approach over the houses: A shot from someones backyard: Short Final right over the lights: Flare as seen from the service road: Spoilers up and full thrust reverse: Taxi off the active runway: Unloading at the gate: Beautiful Cairns in the distance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockliffe Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Nice set Matt, very nice. I really must get Cairns. Also nice to see someone else who likes to fly the big birds manually on landing. You're right, it's always more challenging and fun to land manually. Have a good day my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
