Downwind66 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I try the ILS approach into Savannah, GA, and on final, I'm still at 1000' AGL above and at the threshold! I will get it eventually! The smaller birds are harder when it comes to details, than the larger, faster aircraft that I like to fly! Oh well, it's pretty to look at!

DAVIDSTRAKA Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 You’re right. A nice aircraft to look at!

peer01 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 It's so true! the weather has a major influence on smaller and slower birds. Good luck Rick! :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLW Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Just stick with it Rick and you will master it more quickly than you might think. :) Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 Thanks David, Jan and Larry! Got it Larry! Just tried one more, different airport, tweaked the gs proportional back to 9.00, and it went fine. It really comes down to one stepping down from the heavier, more stable aircraft, then trying the same with a much lighter, more susceptible to exterior challenges, wind etc., especially when you haven't flown one in awhile. I think I could do a better job with a J3 Cub, rather that the Skylane! Anyway, not a great landing, but it worked for me! At least the Skylane seemed happy with the Glide Scope and cooperated this time around! Thanks again! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzaro Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 You should try an ultralight like our Challenger. If you fart on final you gain 500'. :rolleyes: -- Bob [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i7-7700 3.6GHz / GTX1660 6GB / 32GB RAM / 49" Samsung CHG90 / WIN10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifejogger Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 That is a good looking Skylane!!!!!! Keep practicing, you'll get it.:D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) Thanks Bob, Kirk and John! I'll get it one way or the other! I still have my original PPL (53 years), and they haven't taken it from me yet, so, I doubt they will want me to go back for training to get another one! AND, I'm not going to go back and get another! THERE! :mad: This nice looking 182 Skylane will just have to cooperate with me and we'll become best of friends! :rolleyes: Rick :cool: Edited December 10, 2019 by Downwind66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Hmm... I see you had a sex change too Rick, did you select a female voice as well for the pilot to talk to ATC lol? Just kidding, it used to nag me when I selected an aircraft got a female pilot and/or the voice as well even though I always selected a male voice. Another thing about ATC was when the pilot voice was the same as the ATC voice. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVIDSTRAKA Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 My copilot is female voice 5 in FSX I believe. She’s the one with the sexy voice :p Senior Rookie Bragware: FSX Gold - Acceleration | HP Omen Obelisk Desktop | Intel Core i7 3.2 Ghz |16GB | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 | 1TB HD | 256 GB SSD (Gaming Computer) REX Worldwide Airports HD AS16 + ASCA ORBX Global BASE ORBX Freeware Airports ORBX HD Trees [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Ah that one, there was a female duty manager at the airport who sounded like her and her name was Melanie, so every time the ATC came on and it was her I always answered her by name lol.

Downwind66 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Col, this was only a test to see if you are paying attention, and apparently you are! This plane I have been flying has a female in the pilot's seat, she has a male voice, don't know what that is all about and I am not asking questions. Bottom line is, I am still Pilot in Command! Next plane I have a problem with, I will make sure I get one with a male sitting in the pilot's seat! AND, another thing, I have met many female pilots who were very good at piloting whatever they chose to fly! This one sitting in my plane is definitely not fulfilling my expectations! Maybe someone will come along with a solution to my dilemma and show me how to replace my pilot? :rolleyes: Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
