Gate number 38 finished disconnecting from the plane fully and heavily boarded with excited passengers enjoying the factory fresh scent of interior of the new plane with tons tons of Christmas presents in its luggage holds.

Manuevering through mountains according to airport approach charts Wing view showing how high the mountains while passengers' view of flap degree signals that the airport is getting closer Making more manuevers through mountains Wing view of mountains while more degree of flaps is indication that the airport of destination is getting much more closer TOUCHDOWN on runway 01 Front landing gear gliding down slowly in most graceful manner wow they cleared the snow from center of runway resulting into lack of snow blowing or dust Braking down toward end of runway for backtracking Taxiing toward end of runway with background view of route number 682 bridge called Sandnessundbrua that crosses the Sandnes Strait between the islands of Tromsøya and Kvaløya in Tromsø Backtracking Still in middle of backtracking Exiting from runway 01 into taxiway E More snowblowing due to snow on taxiways E and Y Exiting from taxiway E into taxiway Y to taxi to gate Don't you love snow blowing?

  11. @berlopez, @Downwind66, and @darrenvox, Thank to all of you for your kind words. Darren, I am surviving in the loony world. Regards, Aharon
  12. @mrzippy, Good to hear from you. Hope all is well with you!! Satiek X-52 Never happened to me before for all other freeware and payware model bases The engines are at runway approach speed (130 kt). I was too busy concentrating on trying to stop the plane on runway to notice N1 reading. I was focusing on reading the speedometer that remained at 130 kt even the throttles were shut off and the autospeed button indicated off. I even turned off autopilot in hope to get engines kill the speed. That trick failed to work. Strange that it happened during only one flight in every eight successful flights. Weird. Regards, Aharon
  13. I have no problem flying Quality Wings BAe 146s & AVROs in many flights using FSX Deluxe with SP1 and SP2 but I have one unusual problem as seen below. In one flight per 8 successful flights, after touching down on runway, the engines refused to reduce speed to zero even I used throttles to cut down speed to zero yet the plane kept going on at 120kt crashing through end of runway. I checked to be sure the autospeed is off and I even turned off autopilot in hope to make the engines cut down the speed to zero but no luck. Any solution for that, please??? Regards, Aharon
  14. @Rupert, Thank you for your kind words. I try best to make more flight reports Regards, Aharon
