{Komodo} Mac 0 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Well what an outstanding challenge, well thought out route, great questions, and some reading required to learn all about MSA's and the such like what a challenge indeed. I took plenty of screenies of the cockpit and instruments for Mat to scrutinize, and a go at the questions asked, I am sure we will know the outcome once Mat has finished laughing at the answers.......sorry I mean marking the answers, but in the meantime here are a few screenies (without giving the game away) of the "Nice" shots taken on a wonderful journey. Well done again Matt, outstanding!!!!! I hope you all enjoy them. Best regards Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I see that you still have the Christmas Tree. We got a file that takes care of it - now the holiday seasons are long gone, You can find the file HERE Although some of us have given the tree Cult status, and refuse to delete it.. . choice is yours, but the tree was meant to go away after Christmas.

{Komodo} Mac 0 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 It was great fun.........I will of course, include my log file below, sorry guys, forgot that one! As for the X-mas tree, I read up on the forums and saw the exclude flie....but love the tree my friends..........she stays on my scenery!!!! Matt: I am just about to send e-mail, has 10 meg of photos which may seem like over kill but wanted to show all of the instruments on each leg with nav frequencies. Sorry, no DME as I turn it off in the otter for frames gain and use saitek freqency panel for DME. I hope I have not cocked it up completely with the answers, if nothing else, it will keep Matt amused! Best regards Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas_W 32 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Hey Matt, thanks for this awesome challenge! i had a lot of fun to fly. A Challenge is for me something like a school-flight. So i choose my favourite school-aircraft. The Beech F33A. You can fly VFR and IFR with her. She also has enough power to fly over the alps. AND... she's also small enough for my hangar so, here are my pics of this flight: Home sweet home: Taking off Just airborne, now flying the SID direct KPT VOR After KPT on Radial 153 approaching the alps. To the left on our 10 o'clock position is Andras Field. DME 85 KPT-VOR DME 85 KPT-VOR after 48nm on Radial 340 VIC-VOR Approaching the grid ref Approaching the airport after the final leg And here my Logbook. Unfortunately, only a few entries, I recently had to reinstall my computer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
