Yeah, I mean they noticed low pressure, but it didn't look like a autorotation to me

Re: CH-53E out of Miramar lands on beach. BONUS: DANGER ZONE

Sorry for me being a prick, but what's so impressive in landing a fully working helicopter in a beach? Helicopters are supposed to land anywhere by design. It's not gliding 747 with engines out.. Nowdays every landing is impressive landing so it seems.

Re: Quick Cruise Altitude Question

Climb wise climbing the extra 10000' costs you 4.2 gallons. However it takes 25 minutes to do so. In that 25 minutes at 2000' you would burn 4 gallons. So it's a wash until you factor in 1 last part the descent. You can either keep 110 kts TAS in the descent (and burn less fuel then you would at 20...

Re: Quick Cruise Altitude Question

I've been trying to figure out this exact dilema and yet noone can give me a definitive answer how to calculate that, except for "read POH".

Although I am more interested in these calculations with GA aircraft. (Longer climb vs longer lower altitude cruise)

Did try setting it to 30 - maybe helped a little bit, but it's still happening.

Re: V-03 question

I think I saw this question before, and the answer was - "No".

2 transitions have to happen in one flight. But you don't have to land - you fly NW, turn around, use a different transition and come back. You might just be able to fit it under 50 min.

Re: Sim setup for a flight school environment

I would vote for either P3D or X-Plane, but not FSX (P3D user here) FSX is not being developed anymore, so I can't see it being a valid choice anymore. P3D really looks best currently from all the platforms due to being optimized for modern graphics cards, and the framerates are better than fsx. How...

Scenery KSNA from LatinVFR

I recently pulled a trigger and bought this scenery from LatinVFR. This is the first scenery I bought so I am not an expert to compare it to anything else. Considering so many flights happen in KSNA I hope to see this scenery over and over again so it should pay for itself. My impressions: first of ...
