Monthly-Fly-in Ivao Crowded skies III

<< < (3/6) > >>

EHM-1703 Philip:
Yeah, Thanks Cyriel and the rest of the guys. I was last off and made it just in time.... If anyone got a shot of my long landing, plz post it. ;D

EHM-1555 Kendy:
Thank you again Cyriel and and all other EHM Pilots who were online :]
I counted in the beginning 7 but then I missed Ben, I guess he got losti in his own airspace :>
Anyway Cyriel was in front and Phil was the last one. I flew with my nice Co Pilot Daria and after crossing 10'000 ft we had the first problem. Complete failure of the electric circuits. We checked very fast and found the mistake it was a relay for the generator. our technician change it and we could resume our flight ... our intention was from EGCC to fly Berlin with touch and go and then further to Dresden with touch and go and with final landing at Munich.
The problem this time I couldn't overtake any guys (like the last event to Berlin) so I was close behind Christian ,..to close, they sent me in a holding. I was cleared for approach No. 5,..now I was No. 7 behind Phil,...I waited a long time in the holding because Phil had more to do with enjoying the scenery instead of landing ;D
Anyway after I touched the Rwy it was nice to see all my colleagues of EHM on the ground and some friens od Lufthansa and GAF too. We headed to Dresden . touch and go and then to Munich. But in Munich the weather was so bad we couldn't see the runway 200ft above ground so I headed to my alternate Nuernberg. We landed saflely and after 4:30 hours after takeoff in Manchester we enjoyed our glass of wine in the pilot lounge much more  ;)

Thanks again to all of you who participated on crowded skies II and for pilots who couldn't make it,....hope to see you next time !




best regards,

Kendy Mathes

EHM-1703 Philip:
Hehehe, sorry Kendy, I wasn't concentrating. I had the "Rough Guide to Berlin" in front of me to try and find the best bar to spend the night at! :P

EHM-1365 Benjamin:
Hi all,

Well done to everyone that flew! Unfortunately for me just after takeoff my FS crashed:'( . It had taken 30mins to get that far and didn't want to go through all that again - so didn't return ;). Was a shame to miss it!

EHM-1617 Iain:
Very nice flight. I got the shortest block time ;) I am impatient so I chose a 767 up at FL370 while all the others we're mucking down in the low 30s with their MD87's, A320s etc... Still a great flight. I was third to depart, overtook the MD87, landed second and parked right next to Cyriel. Who promptly announced that he would be resigning.

Thanks to Cyriel for all he has done for EHM. This was a very good flyin. The longest flight I have ever done for EHM, but it went well. Expect some pics soon ;)

Only bad things:

IvAe wouldn't work, had to use SI. With its hefty processor load its slowed my FR right down. And to add insult to injury it decided to refresh itself in the landing flare. FRs were about 1 at that point, so I held the stick about half way back and hoped. I think it ended up OK but I can't be sure.

Overall a very good fly-in, even though turnout was slightly disappointing.
