Croisiere Noire ProPilot Event
EHM-0654 Murray:
Tell me about it E-J, I pulled -290 for an overspeed but I'd swear I was below 220kts the whole way. Such is life as a ProPilot :)
If you want to make your life a little easier, get Werner Schott's free B1900D checklist for flight sim usage. http://freechecklists.net/simchecklists.asp
EHM-1001 Robert:
Just before 30 minutes left from landing I hit a sandstorm I guess. The windspeed raised to 99kts and the sight was "foggy" over the desert :o
Maybe you hit too that wind...
EHM-2387 Eric-Jan:
Today, for leg 03 to GAGO, nothing too fancy is expected, as far as the weather goes. Maybe the temporary reduced visibility due to dust can make things more difficult.

There's a "0" too much in the wind indicator. I wonder if I'll go for the rwy07 approach, assuming (0)08 kts from 032, or for the rwy 25 approach assuming 08kts from (0)320... We'll see.
Higher up, the wind forecast for FL180 is only 8 to 13 kts from westerly directions (250-290)
So it should be pretty much smooth sailing this evening. See you all then!
