Looks like a well worth documentary to eyeball each week .. the first one of was a little to over dramatized (an a ARBUST /tongue.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :P border= 0 alt= tongue.gif /> ) , but pleased its relatively up to date , the LOT 767 was a superb landing .. going to be interesting to see some in later series... mention off simulators .. keep training boys and girls /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif /> ... Course finished off with that great ARBUST seaplane landing !

Don't know about the QNH, but the QFE might be 839mb. An overtired BOAC Comet IV FO, who would be called PF these days, was making an ILS approach to Nairobi in Feb 1964 and inadvertently set his altimeter to 938 when the actual QFE was 839. There is no suggestion that this man was affected by alcohol - the investigation board said he made an error "difficult, if not impossible to prevent" and "to which humans are liable". The board noted the 'luck' of the situation - 838 would have made no difference, when reversed; 837 reversed was 738 which just could not be...

Gawd , not sure were i have put it , a ARBUST brochure , yes the 380 - compared 1960s man and 2000 man and a seat spread to suit .. I have not flown on the type but talking to a chap out plane spotting last week said the 777 was roomier and he was a big 1960s man . ... don't figure either - how many people here have been on a flight and gone walkies only to find the aircraft near empty !

This is a new mod in case the auto feather fails and the HP #### wont go into feather. Obviously a some minor details need to be worked on. Next time I preflight a Fokker I gonna give the prop a good tug and see if comes off in my hands. /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif /> Aha I see I can't call the HP #### by it's real name so we will call it a lever instead.

For shooters I agree about ARMA, also ARMA 2/Operation Arrowhead & the DayZ mod! If you want multiplayer shooters then try the free* Alliance of Valiant Arms! Have you ventured into the zombies map yet Marty on COD:WAW?
