JoeEllwood 0 Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Gents, Apologies for the delay. Things should start settling down in the next few weeks for me and I should have more time in the sim - but for now here's Leg 32. Taxying out At the holding point. Not much visibility, looks like we'll be "Mud Movin'" our way out of here. Standard takeoff for this aircraft at a primary aerodrome Cleanin' her up, quickly gaining altitude as the ride gets a bit bumpy Thru the cloud - now taking the chance to have a glimpse of Niagra Falls Eck! More cloud! Now in Central New York Enjoying the peacefulness... METAR is in for La Guardia. Not looking good. Belly shot Getting initial vectors for a westbound approach Looks like some fog down there. Strobes are turned off at this point. Jet traffic starts getting a little heavy for my liking. We slow down to 190KIAS. Looks fine for now... ...not quite so now. Perfect. Crappy wx, approach I've never flown and fuel is getting a bit low. Probably shouldn't have burnt so much off on that climbout... Breaking out momentarily. Lesson learnt today: The Super Hornet doesn't appreciate severe windshear. Almost went missed approach. Picked up the RWY just before I bolted. Bit low, but not a problem for those GE's at the rear. Parked. Not the best flight, probably should have checked out the charts prior to flying into La Guardia. Should have stuck to the old pilot's saying "never point the nose of an airplane you haven't been five minutes before". Leg 32 complete! Hope you enjoyed! Link to post Share on other sites
