Ian Pearse 12 Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 OK, leg 8 done now, and here we are in Iceland. I landed at runway 04 at BIEG - did anyone else find lots of turbulence down the valley in the approach? i had to do a lot of work on the controls to try and stay level, and got penalised for hard turns etc. Given the turbulence, I had no choice - maybe something FSFS should be aware of and allow some latitude for? Anyway, scores: Ian piloting Douglas DC-3 Andras Field ROund THe World Challenge ended 24 April 2011 at 12:24 Aircraft: Douglas ID: G-IANP Airline: Flight: Flight plan: EKVG TO BIEG : NAV1: Failure(s): None at landing Failure Event(s) (Zulu Time): None Failure Bonus:0% Flight Duration:01 Hours 55 Mins 10 Secs Landing Score:31.39 Landing was successful in the following areas: * Good glideslope on visual approach. [50%] * Gentle touchdown. [46 FPM] * Good landing speed - not too fast. [76 KIAS] * Wings were level. * Distance from runway threshold (visual approach): [1141 feet] * Glideslope held until flare. * Good pitch control after touchdown. * Good pitch at landing. * With flaps - good job. * Heading aligned with runway. * Throttle(s) idle. * Good controlled final descent to touchdown. Landing included the following problems: * Poor alignment with runway on visual approach - line up and stay there. [0%] * Landed without a proper approach OR off runway surface. * Poor steering after landing - stay on the centre line. Definite room for improvement... Flight Score:101.45 Flight commended in the following areas: * Gear deployment at safe speed. * Comfortable G forces. * Smooth pitch control. * Flown within aircraft's maximum speed limit. * Appropriate position of flaps during taxi. * Smooth braking during taxi. * Smooth climb during takeoff. * Wings level near ground. * Well coordinated turns. * No stalls. * No flying dangerously close to stall speed. * Smooth comfortable descent rate. * Pitch not too high. * Pitch not too low. * Flaps down on time. * Approach speed not too fast. * Low altitude speeds not too fast. * Good clearance of obstacles. Flight included the following problems: * Rough turns - your passengers spilt their drinks and have a pain in their necks. * Steep banking - save your aerobatic flying for some other time. * Exceeding flap speeds - your flaps may be damaged: have them checked. * Dangerous taxiing turns - these cause discomfort and stress. * Poor steering during takeoff - stay in the centre of the runway. * Late rotation - when Vr is reached - take off. * Poor elevator control during taxi in wind - danger of flipping. * Poor aileron control during taxi in wind - danger of flipping. * Poor attention to taxi speed - dangerous to yourself and others. * Throttle and brakes during taxi - bad for many systems. Definite room for improvement... I got the "off runway syrface" message - which I definitely wasn't - so adding 50 to the landing score as per the temporary fix.

Ian Pearse 12 Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 Back from my holiday and the next leg finally done. A poor landing - I lost sight of the runway, passed it and had to turn back again. Got the off the runway surface message, but it was true this time as I was a long way to the right... oh well...

Definite room for improvement... Had the same problam as an earlier flight - pulling back on the yoke and no response, then a sudden lurch. I need to have another look at my calibrations.

Ian Pearse 12 Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Okay, next leg done. I think there's still a positioning problem of some sort - she was telling me I was nowhere near the centreline - I was just about dead centre, couoldn't have been more than a metre or so out.... anyway, enough griping.

Definite room for improvement... The rough turns and steep banks were on autopilot in the cruise.... suddenly seemed to want to flip as the course changed. I'm wondering if I'm getting spikes on the controls... not too bad overall. On the the next leg... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
