After working your way up the ranks, it's easy to forget how much fun flying the low and slow props is... So I've been revisiting a few of them and wanted to share a short flight I took in our lovely ATR-42...
This plane won't be in the fleet much longer [I'm not complaining as I can't wait to use her bigger sister, the Flight1 ATR-72
] so if you haven't flown her, have a look through these shots and I dare you to say she's not a great little plane !!!
Here she is on the ground, engines starting...
...after take-off checklist please...
... following the standard instrument departure...
...must be time for the inflight meal...
...while here on the flightdeck (a genuinely excellent freeware VC !) the autopilot is in command...
...that was quick ! Top of descent already, better watch those Corsican mountains...
...turning onto base leg...
...and all set up on final...
...last 1000 feet, about to go manual for landing...
...better not taxi to the wrong slot or I'll probably get shot !!
A great flight in a lovely little aircraft
Hope you enjoyed the ride...
P.S. I'm not telling you where the flight started... you've got to guess !!
