CaptHill 0 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hi guys here's the leg! Well I say that.......read on......! Our flight today will be an airbus A318 on delivery to a company over in Russia. Weather looks crisp without a cloud in the sky....but very cold! Speed brake test on the taxi out to runway 34R Under the watchful eye of the tower Runway looks very icy!! Rotation in our brand new Airbus! Climbing to the cruise altitude of 20000 Then a huge bang.....I look to the first officer and we pause for a moment.......a rushing sound is heard in the cabin! Sure enough a huge decompression!! The wind is howling! Myself and the first officer declare and emergency and the immediate return to UHHH. We start our emergency descent below 10,000 feet. ATC vectors us back on ourselves. (couldnt believe it, my FS Passengers was only set to 1% failure percentage chance) Gear comes down as we make our priority approach Tower watches over us as we are surrounded by emergency veichles.....but safely down......so much for BRAND NEW! So the leg has been flown but we're back where we started! Someone needs to take the baton on so it can complete its journey....I insist it be Mutley! He puts in so much work for us guys on this site and I would like to personal hand him the baton! I often hear him say that he cant get a leg and his shots in the screenshot competition are brilliant but hes never allowed to win.....so Mutley the Leg is yours!!!!

fighterpilot 0 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 nice shots, but it is like one on the million that a failure happends when you got it at 1% and as you said, so much for brand new... Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,498 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Sorry guy's, I have just been alerted by Dimitri (Dai) about this, I cannot fly this leg at the moment as I've got RW things going on so if any one can take over the baton then there could be an honour award in it for you! If no go, it will fly it as soon as possible, but not this week. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Well, if you really need me, I'll do it, but it'll be seriously rushed Link to post Share on other sites
