When I was on Pilot's course the hardest detail I ever did, bar none, was leading a formation through an instrument approach then down to a landing. TACAN or GCA approaches were hard enough when you were by yourself. Remembering that there was a guy who was hanging off your wing who wanted you to fl...

Yes, the F-14 could lock up 6 targets at once.

P.S. You could have googled that in 4 seconds like I did..

Two engines... sob, high wing... sniff .. choke... unparalleled performance (in the low end of the spectrum). My first love. P.S. I don't mean the F-111, I mean the Caribou in the ...

But it doesn't cause much damage. Thats the point.

Impressive? Yes. Deadly to modern aeroplanes? I can't think of one example.

Several of the aeroplanes I have flown have been struck by lightning. Usually the only damage is to the pilots underwear, (KaaaaF*****gboom!!!!!) and a few scorch marks on the paint. Occasionally there are little holes left which need to be patched, but not always.

120 feet in a 747 is very very very low. If it continued to descend it would have crashed.
Nothing about what you have related sounds right. You sure about it?

Don't think you can... if you do find a way, let us know!!

Happened yesterday while we were practising... well done guys!

Four million parts flying together in formation....!

Well something is wrong there, your pitch attitude should be around 2 or 3 degrees nose up if properly configured and flying the correct speed.

Icqorsa, you are correct when you say the FMC is different from the Boeing although they are made by the same company, Honeywell. Apparently Boeing has some copyright features in its FMC, hence the differences. As far as NAV goes, the aircraft has two main modes, Managed or Selected. In Managed mode...

Scooter, it is called Carmina Burana.

I used to think that addition was just the french being difficult!

Actually if you hear the "retard" call it means you are a little late coming out of Auto-Thrust for landing.

My setup is nothing to speak of... YET!! So I thought I'd throw this one in... my other ride heading towards Perth over the Great Australian Bight. This is the flight deck of VH-EBB, which set a world record on it's delivery flight when they flew it from Toulouse in France to Melbourne Australia non...

Attitude reference. It gives both the vertical and 45 degree reference for manoeuvres such as the cuban eight.
