EHM-2131 Bruce:
Hi Andrei, yes i did see that too there are 2 planes at GMFK now, but you should have not been able to lock them i think until today will wait a few hours and try again, see if any one else gets to fly,  Bruce EHM 2131

EHM-1944 Jaap:
Can't lock my flight too.Will try again tomorrow,hopefully in the meantime everything is sorted out.
Cheers,
Jaap

EHM-1953 Daniel:
i really think that there's some problem with the calendar in the propilot system, because i saw the flight yesterday in the locking list but it doesn't show up today.. so the system might think that the last day to fly it was yesterday...?

regards,

I just finished the second leg to LEMG.

I was able to lock leg E053. But I do not see a leg from LEMG to Nador..

Are we supposed to fly E053 today also or what..?

if not, what is the ICAO code for Nador?

How do we proceed from LEMG onwards??

I am not used to complain about the penalties from PP but today I feel I have too.
How can the Pen 018 be applied when the touchdown at Malaga was at 110 kts with less than 300 fpm vertical speed?
Would appreciate any comment on this.

Hector, The ProPilot system and more specifically the Flight Logger receives all of it's information from Flight Sim via FSUIPC. ProPilot will only penalize you once the Criteria for a penalty has been received from FS. In your case, you recvd a penalty 18 which is:

18 - Maximum load factor (G) allowed - 400.00  - Your airplane suffered a maximum G force of 2.5. Your passengers got very scared!

Therefore, FS has reported to the flight logger that your plane exceeded 2.5 G which is not only caused by a hard landing it is usually extreme movements caused by sharp inputs or a stall etc.

What I am trying to say is that for some reason, your Flight Simulator reported an excessive G rating and that this may have been prior to your landing, like your final approach etc. where if you had made a sharp correction or movement or you had got too slow and tried to correct this by pulling back you would have loaded the plane with excessive G forces.

I will attempt to check the ACARS later if you can give me the flight number that you were on and the date and time of the flight.

As for the calender problems, sorry, Bruno will have to fix them as soon as he gets on. I have emailed him but I am sure he will make the corrections and allow everyone to get to the next stage or catch up so sit tight while I try and get hold of him. Thanks.
