Trident3 services inaugurated

Post by RAF_Quantum »

Hi Guys

With a full compliment of passengers and a belly full of cargo CBFS VA Trident 3 services were tonight inaugurated with a flight from Heathrow to Edinburgh. G-AWZE took to the skies with Rick Piper at the controls - again.

:smile:

Nice work Rick

Hi Chaps

Not really flown the Trident seriously before.

very different to what i am used to but a bit of a missile in the cruise :shock:

Good Fun to fly but i need to read up on all this Autoland Malarkey :worried:

Not used it & landings i thought where really smooth showed over 200fpm touchdowns as i'm not used to so much length :-#

I'm thinking like i am in the 748 and wheels are on the ground just as i flare :doh:

Regards
Rick :wink:

Just Noticed thats 25 flights & promoted to Captain :worried:

Captain Rick (nah!, sounds like I need my pants on over me tights) :lol:

Rick, you must have ssen it, but if not d/l trident autoland tutorial by Peter Mcleland, It's very informative, and easy to understand as well.

I still have trouble with the altitude hold on the trident, 1000 ft/m osillation even with the fix installed, I'm lost as what to do next?.

well done with the pocket rocket!

Robbie.
