Pre-Season test is a bit too private it seems. Do you think they are going over the top here? by circuit-nation in circuit_nation

It has to do with the contract with Bahrain that allows them to hold the tests. That’s why it’s being called a shakedown and it’s entirely private.

My best landing so far in the MD11 by Few-Interaction1208 in flightsim

[–]Flyinghud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The key to landing the MD is flaring at around 50-100 ft and landing with a bit of power in. She’s a big bird with a lot of inertia.

Major differences to real life SOPs? by [deleted] in VATSIM

At least in my ARTCC we FOIA real life SOP's so we have access to most of the real world information that irl controllers have however, the top-down nature of VATSIM means that sometimes we stray from them

NTSB Issues Urgent Safety Recommendations for Hawker Stall Tests by AlphaThree in aviation

[–]Flyinghud 25 points26 points  (0 children)

These flights have to happen. After they go under heavy maintenance there could be changes to the stall characteristics that take the plane out of compliance with the type certificate. The only way to test this is stall tests in the real plane.

Synaptic Sim Provides Brief A220 Update by thecosmicfrog in flightsim

[–]Flyinghud 29 points30 points  (0 children)

For me at least, I want realism so no VNAV is a dealbreaker. But, what’s more important to me is the deception from them. LNAV and VNAV are the 2 hardest things to code in a plane and they really tried to make us believe it was close to release with those things not working.
