EHM-0250 Magnus:
Flew the third leg of the 2007 F1 event, to Melbourne. Everything went fine. After landing, shutting the engines down, shutting the lights down, and turning the battery off, I go to submit the flight. I check the acars.  There I get a penalty for starting without the beacon lights on, AFTER I shut engine 4 down and before I shut the rest of the engines down, in Melbourne.  But the big problem comes when I can't submit the PIREP due to lack of information... I think this penalty has something to do with it. Who can help me?

The flight is included in my regular flights but not my ProPilot flights.

EHM-1612 Paolo:
Hi Magnus, I had the same thing flying from Kuwait City to Kuala Lumpur this afternoon. I think the problem doesn't come from penalties, but from losing the connection to the internet...I sent an email to Bruno, asking if he can just transport my plane from Kuwait to Kuala in the PP system.
You should do the same I think, just ask him to put your 747 in Melbourne.
I hope Bruno is going to solve our problems,
Ciao!

EHM-1001 Robert:
Hi Magnus,

the problem can be, that you tried to submit the PIREP too late. I think, if you not allow engines to reach to a complete stop (N1=0% RPM) you cannot do anything, otherwise you got a penalty !

What I used to do is shut down the engines, and meanwhile the turbines slow down completely, I submit the PIREP, then quit from Logger, and only after I follow the shutdown procedure ;)

EHM-1671 Ben:
Paolo, I don't think Bruno will do that. Since there is a 'lack' of information, then he can't be completely sure that you actually flew the flight. I had this exact same problem when I was flying from Genève to Kuwait... just had to fly the leg again! :(

EHM-1612 Paolo:
Yes, I perfectly understand you Ben, but this time I flew it online with 2 EHM pilots, so I think it can be different from other situations...
I am just trying not to repeat today's flight, because I spent 8 hours in front of the computer for nothing...:'(
