Tampa Approach

[BillD22]

A Cirrus Vision Jet SF50 G2 on the ILS 1L approach at Tampa International (KTPA). This airplane is way too much fun!!:D:cool::pilot:

 

Cleared to land.

 

 

Passing McDill Air Force Base off the right wing.

 

On glideslope and localizer. The PFD is showing a 10-knot 45-degree right crosswind.

 

The tall buildings of downtown Tampa are visible in the distance.

 

Rolling out with the windsock showing the crosswind.

 

On the ramp. Welcome to sunny Tampa! Thanks for coming along.

Thanks, Jan, Jason, Darren & Larry - the Vision Jet has become my go-to FS airplane! It has outstanding flight and systems modeling. :cool::pilot:

 

I can see why it's a best-seller in the light jet RW market.

I agree! Beautiful shots!

 

As to being a RW best seller issue, their "Get me home if incapacitated feature" is apparently the best version currently available for the single pilot market. And lots of spouses have decided to let their honey buy a new plane if it includes that very important to them safety feature!

 

In a car if the driver passes out or is otherwise disabled, the crash is almost instant. So frankly we don't give it much thought. There's little if anything we can do to change it

 

In an aircraft if the only pilot is incapacitated it make take many minutes for the crash and innocent deaths to occur. I've talked to a lot of reluctant GA passengers who fear the long long time it might take them to have that expected crash.
