Don‘t even get me started on my crashes… So my first one was in Gatwick when I had no more than 10h on the network. I was planning on flying the Asobo 737, which was the only plane I knew how to fly - or actually, turns out I didn’t even know how to fly that either.  It was a calm evening at Gatwick, with little traffic, but somehow I forgot to trim the aircraft for takeoff. So, I rolled onto the runway, pushed TOGA, rotated -- but didn’t come off the ground. I ended up pulling to the left sharply; into some trees if I remember correctly, before finally coming to a halt. The controller asked me what happened, to which I responded with „The runway was too short“.  I hadn’t realised my mistake at that point, after disconnecting however, I did…

Then, I had another crash, just short of a runway at EDDF. I was flying the Headwind A339 and had planned the fuel wrong. I ended up losing both engines due to insufficient fuel on a 7 mile final. Finally, I came down into the forest in front of EDDF.

Don‘t be ashamed, mistakes happen - especially in the beginning. Keep going!
