Posted: Fri May 18, 2007 8:38 pmThere I was on Gatwick Director, empty scope, when I saw a message over the IVAO network Broadcast saying that the weather conditions at Kuwait where suitable to gain the IVAO "Heavy Weather" award and there was a Supervisor there so pilots can get the award.
The Heavy Weather award is given to a pilot if he (or she
) lands in difficult weather conditions with out the use of an autoland system, such as strong cross winds or very low visibility.
So there was a ATC on the Kuwait CTA and a supervisor there to take pilots IDs and approve the award
So I loaded up at OEPA and filled a plan to OKBK, in my trustry 767-300 of course!
Pushing back.
Other traffic here too.
Accelerating down the rwy.
Climb out, looks like im banking, look at the EADI! Ratated this shot a bit to much I think. Neat thow.
Out of the fog, got clearance from Kuwait Center and heading enroute.
Sqwark codes start with a 0 here!
Hmm desert!
ah getting vectors for the approach, controler had my way to high.
cleared for the ILS intercept. expecting visibilty to drop dramticly to the 300meters.
err, a slightly stressful moment.
Made it, not to far away from the center line.
hmm this is the part were I get lost.
Found a terminal.
A shot from IVAE (our "server info" sort of thing, but way better and easier to use ) .
That was really fun! wasn't that hard thow, nothing I haven't done before... but really fun
So now I have the Heavy Weather Award!
Thanks for looking
