Some AA-time and failures lurking!
Gooday.
I´ve just completed a 2 hour flight from Ft. Lauderdale (KFLL) to Port au Prince (MTPP).
AA807.
I nice flight with pretty cool scenery upon arrival at MTPP. This was my first visit to Haiti in the virtual world! Haven´t been there IRL either....
Skipping a waypoint, as directed by ATC,
saves both time and fuel.
Aircraft in landing-config on final towards
Port au Prince.
Flaring above the runway.
I downloaded a small file I found at http://www.avsim.com . It´s simply called "Random Failure" and that pretty much explains its´use aswell. You start the application; enter a "probability number"; and go fly!
This may now generate a failure at any time, in any system onboard, every minute of the flight.
Since I only fly IFR and strictly controlled aircraft, I used the probability rate of 1/10.000 every minute of the flight.
Guess what. I was lucky. :)
But one day I might end up with a failing engine at V2 (calculated safe climbout speed), then I´ll be pouring sweat!
I used an application like this back in the good old FS2002 days, and I had a major failure once. It was an engine failure during the takeoff roll but well below V1 (calculated "point of no return speed"), so I was able to stop and shut down and taxi back to the gate on one engine.
Here are some photos from another American flight I made yesterday; AA1394 from Dallas Fort Worth (KDFW) to Fort Lauderdale (KFLL).
Taxiing out at KDFW.
ILS established, heading for Fort Lauderdale.
Thanx for reading!

O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil.
