It just dawned on me that only two helicopters flew during this event. So will have to add more, and I don't want anyone saying... 'But that wasn't in the race!"
-
Guilty as charged...
-
Will it never end !?!?! LOL On it!

Send me a pic with "MAD1" positioned in flight similarly positioned as the seaplanes in the poster (go high for all blue background) and I'll update the poster. Floats and boats together.

Glad the re-install worked without a hitch. Don't accidentally grab one of JMSR's big-mouth bottles!

You might want to add this to your paperwork.

She sees several sassy seaplanes at the sunny sea shore...

Good luck, looking forward to this being rectified.

This scenery is for Groningen Eelde Airport, Netherlands EHGG. Groningen Airport is home to the renowned KLM Flight Academy. In recognition of KLM’s historic 100 plus years of service, on the ramp there is a static L-1049 Constellation in the KLM 40 Year “Flying Dutchman - Vliegende Hollander” paint scheme. Many improvements to the airport were made based upon Google Earth © imagery and the LVNL Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) for EHGG. The AIP for EHGG is included in the zip file. These improvements include: Lengthening runway 05/23. Closing runway 01/19 and converting it to taxiway B. Aligning taxiways per the AIP. Revamping/resizing paved ramp areas. Adding five parking spots (11 – 15) per the AIP. Eliminating incorrect parking spots. Moving the fueling trigger to the middle of ramp closest to the tower. Adding the KLM Flight Academy (parked aircraft, hangars, dormitories, and support buildings). Adding airport buildings, hangars, fire station, support equipment, and landscaping. Adding the VHF/DF (simulated using a Terminal VOR, 117.9). Links and instructions for required scenery object libraries are included in the readme.

Exactly, Now that's talking like an aviator, not a simmer!!!

Why it's so hard to land a fast business jet

Touch and goes (or circuit and bounces) are the staple of basic airmanship. So many thing happening in a short period, then repeat. -
Keep 'em coming!!!

Why it's so hard to land a fast business jet

Understanding an overhead approach can be quite beneficial for landing after power loss. One many not have the altitude to set up a traditional square pattern. The best field to land in may be directly under you. And extension of the 180 abeam is setting up a 360 (or more) pattern from a "key" position approximately 1 turn for 1000 feet of altitude to descend. https://www.cfinotebook.net/notebook/maneuvers-and-procedures/emergency/emergency-approach-and-landing I still prefer a close downwind that allow for a 180 and roll wings level at touchdown. After flying into the break to downwind and then 180 and land, flying the rectangular pattern feels like I'm purposely being farther from the runway than I needed to be. It took a while to adjust to a rectangular pattern. For any California pilots, Mohave has no problems if you request "the break." -

This may just be a visual perception issue. The approach, whether published or visual are basically around 3 degrees (+ or -). -
I have this book in my library and this oversight makes me question the level of research for the whole book! I've attached the simplest and detailed overview I've found for Marine Helicopters in Vietnam. Mobility War - Marine Helicopter Operation Vietnam.pdf

No matter what aircraft you fly, the approach speed (V Ref) is defined as 1.3 time the stall speed in the landing configuration. And you will need a longer final for a higher V Ref (visual approach). You might want to fly a basic ILS, first with a single engine prop aircraft, then a twin (such as a Baron of KingAir), then a small jet (Cessna Citation), then Lear Series, then jet airliner, The approach remains the same, the time it takes to complete the approach is less with a higher V Ref. -
Very nice run today. I could never tire of watching an AeroStar. Well done.

If you truly desire to improve your pattern flying and landing, I'd reread the comments by lnuss above. Many id flight simming are drawn to the shiny fast electronics of the large or corporate jet cockpit. Best to start with basics and grow from there a step at a time once mastered. -
They also were designed for water landing and taxiing. Of course with all the seals and drain plugs tight. Seeing into the water through the chin bubble was quite a sight.

The goal of worldwide ATC improvements is for GPS direct from departure to arrival waypoints. However, this is years away. Standard departure and arrival procedures with airway/jetway routing between them will be the norm for quite some time.

Excellent!

Many thousand of ship landings through the years, and two 6-month deployments aboard ship. I always tell people that being aboard ship is a life of "you can run, but you can't hide." Great memories but don't want to do that again.

Calling all seaplanes... Bossspecops, If you would, I'd love to get an airborne pic of all the seaplanes you've used here. I'd like to create another montage, this one with just seaplanes. Set up the camera angle similar to as you did for the original montage pic.
-
I love this pic. It reminds me of all the times I'd see ships when flying over the ocean and was so glad I was in the air, and not on the sea. Another excellent seaplane choice.

This many years later and they still laugh about it over their morning coffee!
