Career Flight 3: 27-2-2005

(1/4) > >>

EHM-1587 Tom:
This might be my fastest turnaround doing anything, ever. I'd signed up at EuroHarmony earlier this morning after absolutely falling in love with the website and attention to detail. The fleet also caught my eye as I love small turboprops.

As a disclaimer, I have a very lacklustre system. It runs FS moderately well, but scenery visuals lack. I, of course, love my screenshots, and I hope you kind folks at EuroHarmony can see my screenshots for the work put into making them interesting, NOT the money I spent on a computer.

Anyway, welcome to Tom McClellan's EHM Career in Screenshots. I'm Tom, your host. Pilot ID EHM-1587. This is my picture log of my EuroHarmony career. So, like every other story before it, we start from the beginning...

CAREER FLIGHT: 1

Sitting on the tarmac, going through my checklists. The weather out was not the best for flying, although it suited my tastes. "European weather," noted my co-pilot. "Get used to it," he said with a chuckle.


Several minutes later after a long taxi out to runway six, our Do228 had gently lifted from the ground.


Tooling around with the Autopilot while moving to intercept the first Navaid.


We were completely surrounded by cloudy murk all the way up to FL150... I was worried that we'd have to cruise in that boring Zero Visibility.


It was only a short, very Class 1 cruise until we were ready to come start descent towards EHEH.


And thus the descent began...


Turning right towards Eindhoven now, we would be able to just cruise right in. Luckily, the weather was a lot clearer on the way down.


Staring out at the city of Eindhoven before beginning the final descent and approach.


Lining up with the runway as we shed even more altitude.


For some reason, I could hear Obi-Wan Kenobi's voice in my head as we came in rather high and hot. "Use the force," he said to me as I dropped the last notch of flaps.


Nearly there, beginning to pull back on the yoke for flare...


Real squeaker of a landing -- no smoke! One woman told me it was much better than when she'd flown into Schiphol. "That one was a double bouncer," she said.


After shutting down the engines, going through the final checklist and seeing the passengers off, I walked off into the terminal for a well deserved coffee break.


(I know, I left the flaps down. Silly me. :%)
