Re: Happy Birthday adysmith

Day after my birthday I developed cellulitis in my right leg - seriously painful but more importantly my (RW) pilot's licence is suspended until it has fully cleared up; I'm losing LOTS of money by not being able to fly!

Viscount on 3

Shortly after take off from Rhodes, destination Rome, engine number 3 decided to stop producing thrust.
No idea why, tried all sorts but it wouldn't restart so I feathered the prop.
No panic, aircraft is under control with a modest rate of climb, 500 FpM.

Re: Gaining and maintaining Type ratings

Training flights are in the SH36, type rating (once achieved) covers the SH33 as well.

B707 for sale?

Had a PM on FSA asking if we want to sell one of our B707s.

Thoughts from those in Authority?

Re: FSX > P3D

LittleNavMap, I've been trying it.

Is there any way to make it connect to the aircraft autopilot for lateral (or vertical) navigation?

After less than an hour generator number one failed, so when I got to Fraggle Rock (Isle of Man) I changed to a different version of the same aircraft (having to reposition all my panels where I wanted them again)
