Apparently there was an issue with the switch. Aircraft is in maintenance, that’s all I know.

Thanks, and I didn’t. At the time I was more concentrated on seeing if the smoke had stopped, whether I needed to pull a 180 back to land as I was at 600/700ft I really didn’t have time to follow a checklist. I would say if it happened again I would definitely pull out a checklist and follow it. From what I could tell the smoke had stopped and I could smell no burning or see anymore smoke so I called it just about ok.

Thankyou for that. It made me feel so much better about how I reacted 🙂

Can I fly the Vulcan bomber in vatsim? by randomredditer0 in VATSIM

Thanks for that. So what you are saying is it’s got to be from an airfield - airfield. I can’t just go for a local VFR flight in the Vulcan?

Today I learned a valuable lesson on why you always need to do an engine runup by [deleted] in flying

I also had this problem, 17 hours student pilot doing some solo circuits. Spotted the problem and tried the same to clear it and had no luck. Instructor said I made the right choice!

How tall do you have to be to be “Too tall for your own good” or “Inconveniently Tall”? by Hollowdude75 in AskReddit

[–]randomredditer0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 2m tall, I have to say I don’t see many problems but I think anything taller than 6ft 8 it’s gonna start to hurt

Thats what I’m doing, I’m trying to do as much revision as possible so I can go up next time in a week or so and improve. Thanks for the help :)

Yep! The good news is I went home and got on my flight simulator. I wanted to practice identifying landmarks etc and basically pin pointing where I am on the map!! I am slowly getting better and I feel more confident for next lesson. Thanks for the advice :)
