What a great flight! (sarcasm)
« on: August 28, 2006, 09:16:48 pm »
Today, I did a non-EHM flight, just for fun, and this is the curse I get. I could only take one pic unfortunately, but it was from EGLL-EGCC. last time I flew this plane, I landed at the wrong airport, got set on fire, and lost a wing. Wasn't any better. The actual flight was alright, but during landing, I really screwed it up. Did a good manual ILS approach, then I started to panick as I approached the runway, and went 2,000ft above the runway! Then I decided to drop down. The controller was using IVAI and he was in hysterics! I was flopping about on my descent, and the winds were so strong aswell! I then did a nose dive into the runway, and didn't pull up, and luckily, I pulled up just enough, but then I flipped, I nearly broke my wing off, and then did a kangaroo jump on the runway! I went flying back into the air, then crashed down again, at 300 fpm! Then I got off the runway, and then to my delight, my fuselage was on fire. The controller then asked me whether I was ok, and I said "Request taxi instructions to Maintenance. My Fuselage is on fire" And he was laughing so much! I then got lost trying to find maintenance, while a black cloud followed me around, and eventually I gave up, and said could I just park on the grass, and he agreed. I then took a photo of the fire. It's a shame I couldn't of videod the whole thing, as I think you guys would have loved it! Here's my pic:

Hi Matt,

I read your report with great interests. OK - I'm not yet very experienced (just Senior Turboprop Captain) - but what is so unusual about your approach?

Is it forbidden to park on the grass in EGCC?


:]

Where do we begin with what went wrong? Well, he 'panicked' (you'll need to explain that one to me, Matt) and broke off the approach, climbing 2000ft into the air, to try again I suppose. On the second descent, he's shaking around, nose dives into the runway, flips, nearly loses a wing, was airborne AGAIN before 'slamming' down (I don't think touching down at 300fpm is bad at all, actually). Then, to top it all off, his fuselage catches fire and he ca'nt find his way to maintenance.

Oh well Matt, practise makes perfect ;)

I felt very low on the descent, like 100ft, so I pulled back to gain some altitude, and went too far up, and then it carries on from there...

Also, It was quite late at night, so I was a bit in my "got to do it right! phase!
