Classic British Flight Sim

Could not find Croft Field in MSFS, the default Cosford is ok but the buildings are wrong. Did not look at Staverton. The airfields are not as good as the UK2000 offerings in my opinion.

The white arc up to a max of 103 kts is allowable flap range . The Pa 28-161s of the AbbasAir school have 160hp Lycoming O-320s. We...
