Ian Pearse 12 Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 OK, that's leg 2 done now. Not much of a view of the Falls on the way out due to altitude and clouds. I didn't think it would go down very well if I did a low pass! A beautiful day for a flight and my best flight score yet. Just need to get my landings consistent!

Ian Pearse 12 Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Leg 3 done, and a terrible landing. I neglected to set my FS time to something sensible, ended up approaching in near darkness. If you've flown the default LearJet, you'll know how bad the cockpit lighting is - I couldn't read the instruments properly. Anyway, finally got down. Interesting approach, and should be an interesting departure in the DC-3.

Ian Pearse 12 Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Leg 10 done. Major problem on this one. Just as I got into the cruise I started getting "too fast for flaps, retract them" messages. Huh? I didn't touch the flap control, and it had been fine when I did my pre-take-off flap check. Try as I might, I could not raise them, so did the whole fight with flaps at 33%. Then, when on finals, they raised by themselves and I couldn't lower them again - so did a flapless landing. Not my day today, I think.

Landing included the following problems: * Poor glideslope on ILS approach - you can do better. [0%] * Poor alignment with runway on ILS approach - line up and stay there. [30%] * Too hard - may have damaged your landing gear. [1053 FPM] * Distance from runway threshold (visual approach): [3834 feet] (excessive) * Landed without a proper approach OR off runway surface. * Glideslope lost before you flared - not your best effort. * Not near the centre line - you can do better. * Throttle(s) forward - should be idle. * Ballooning during landing - needs practice. * Poor steering after landing - stay on the centre line. Definite room for improvement... Flight Score:107.57 Flight commended in the following areas: * Smooth turns. * Nice banking. * Gear deployment at safe speed. * Comfortable G forces. * Smooth pitch control. * Flown within aircraft's maximum speed limit. * Gentle taxi turns. * Good take off steering. * Rotation was not late. * Appropriate position of flaps during taxi. * Safe taxi speed. * Smooth braking during taxi. * Smooth climb during takeoff. * Well coordinated turns. * No stalls. * No flying dangerously close to stall speed. * Pitch not too high. * Pitch not too low. * Flaps down on time. * Approach speed not too fast. * Low altitude speeds not too fast. Flight included the following problems: * Exceeding flap speeds - your flaps may be damaged: have them checked. * Wings not level near ground - danger of clipping a wing. * Rapid descent - dangerous and uncomfortable. * Narrowly missed obstacles - plan your safety altitudes. Definite room for improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Pearse 12 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 OK, final leg done... at last! And the most difficult landing yet, for me at least. getting speed, approach and height all correct were very hard in the limited manoeuvering space, but we got there! Scores: Ian piloting Learjet 45 ended 17 August 2011 at 18:54 Aircraft: BOMBARDIER ID: G-IANP Airline: Flight: Flight plan: PADQ TO PADU : NAV1: DUT Failure(s): None at landing Failure Event(s) (Zulu Time): None Failure Bonus:0% Flight Duration:01 Hours 39 Mins 27 Secs Landing Score:32.20 Landing was successful in the following areas: * Good glideslope on visual approach. [50%] * Gentle touchdown. [568 FPM] * Good landing speed - not too fast. [122 KIAS] * Wings were level. * Good pitch control after touchdown. * With flaps - good job. * With spoilers armed. * Heading aligned with runway. Landing included the following problems: * Poor alignment with runway on visual approach - line up and stay there. [0%] * Distance from runway threshold (visual approach): [2203 feet] (excessive) * Landed without a proper approach OR off runway surface. * No glideslope - could not compare flare to glideslope. * Nose down too low - you need to land on your main gear. * Throttle(s) forward - should be idle. * Ballooning during landing - needs practice. * Poor steering after landing - stay on the centre line. Definite room for improvement... Flight Score:108.06 Flight commended in the following areas: * Correct matching of flaps to speeds. * Gear deployment at safe speed. * Smooth pitch control. * Flown within aircraft's maximum speed limit. * Gentle taxi turns. * Good take off steering. * Rotation was not late. * Appropriate position of flaps during taxi. * Safe taxi speed. * Smooth braking during taxi. * Smooth climb during takeoff. * Wings level near ground. * Well coordinated turns. * No stalls. * No flying dangerously close to stall speed. * 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. * Sickening G forces - your passengers feel rather unwell. * Poor elevator control during taxi in wind - danger of flipping. * Poor aileron control during taxi in wind - danger of flipping. * Rapid descent - dangerous and uncomfortable. Definite room for improvement... Now for a well-earned rest before Phase 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
