DAVIDSTRAKA Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Time to leave North Windam (3N3) in Vermont. Destination Worcester, Massachusetts (KORH). Just a very short flight. After a night of camping with the plane, it will be nice to get to civilization. But first, the short field take off. Part 1 The route: OK. All the way at the end of the field. 10 degrees flaps, 3/4 tanks of fuel, just me in the plane plus supplies. Hold the breaks, go to full throttle, check the RPMs, release brakes, get the speed into the white arc and then get the nose up for best angle of climb. I was actually a bit nervous! It's been a while since I did one of these :eek: Pull up to best angle of climb to clear the trees Yee haw! This is the fun of flying! From the hangers view Got to clear the mountains before I make my left hand turn on course.

Downwind66 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 "Time to call it a day?" I think I would be wanting to get the H... out of there and find the next airport to "Call it a day!" You done good though, nice flight! How many more miles to the Pacific coast? Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas, life got in the way yesterday evening. How many miles?

DAVIDSTRAKA Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 That will be a great series of posts! Appreciated that good short field takeoff! Thanks Gerard! I guess the most fun short field take off I ever did was during my Commercial pilot, multi-engine training. At that time we were flying the Piper Seminole. Runway 25L Daytona Beach, FL. It was actually the "complex" part of the Commercial check ride. Now that was cool!

Clutch Cargo Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 David, looking at the screenshots it appears you will be flying this all with default scenery? It may be just me but I would think things would get a bit repetitive after a few states? Clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely does get a bit repetitive especially in the northeast. Things should change as I go. The mid west I feel is going to be really repetitive!
