Macroburst Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Good trip! The merger w/ American Airlines was tough- especially as A.A. really developed a ho hum livery. The US AIRWAYS at least stood out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Been there many times. I always pull out the TAWS to avoid hitting a mountain. Surprised you were able to land without terrain warning and through low visibility. Depending on what side of the runway you're flying to, it can be a real PITA. There is an airport upgrade in the library for FSX. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed.
