For my own personal flight training I’ve been learning with a Cessna 152 plane IRL and found a freeware version of the craft which you can download from Just Flight http://www.justflight.com/microsoft-c152 overall for a freeware plane it’s all good! Anyway to test it out done a small journey from Denham Aerodrome to Wycombe Air Park, very sensitive to fly to once you got the handle of it works very well. Anyway next set of pics up!

For the first time since buying the Saitek Flight Pro I’ve flown the Airbus with no need for autopilot, complete manual use making it a good small challenge, taking off lately I’ve been doing quite a standard formation which seems to be quite useful in getting the plane into the air at a reasonable speed.

Line up to runway.
Set flaps to 0.
Hold onto the brake.
Full power to the engines.
When reaching about 120 knots, increment flaps by 2/3.

This should give enough lift to get you in the air. With a 747 on the other-hand you will need a minimum of 3 maybe 4 dependant on the length of the runway.

During my landing I managed to run out of track to carry on however recently been notified that the lenth is actually out by quite a significant amount. I hope this is the case as it would explain why my landing ended up just slightly off the runway.

Sorry it’s been a while!, been so busy lately. In line up there’s been quite a line up going on.

First of all it was my birthday so managed to have a nice week of work! spending time with the family, taking pictures, and of course, more flight simulator! I’ve recently bought a Cessna Pro Flight Yoke which is a real decent piece of kit they’re going for £99 and you may even get the upgrade to the Cessna version which lucky for me I DID!!! You can order one here obviously it’s not guaranteed that you’ll get one for that price it’s up to you on that risk. I was quite surprised to find out by the guys at PC World that clients actually sent the Cessna version back just because it did not have the little digital display! Yet the Cessna version is meant to be a lot better as in it was worked with proper plane developers to provide the most accurate device possible. Silly people…

Any ways here’s some more pictures of my recent flights, sorry there’s no commentary on these I left it too long ago!
