John Franco, 10-13-05, LSGS-LIRP, 111, BGAN011, World Rally 2005 DC3, DC3 World Rally 2005 flt#6(final in the rally)I was a little surprised that the DC3 made it to 13200 feet. I kept to the numbers and she did well. To get to 140 KIAS after starting the descent from altitude, i did a standard -500FPM descent down to 5500 as indicated on the flightplan. Upon completion of the DC3 World Rally 2005, I now havea better understanding of the DC3 and i can fly it more efficently. My salute goes to the organizers of this great event for FS9. Ill be looking forward to DC3 WR2006. As long as im not tied up with Senior yr. (HS) work next year, ill be around for the next rally.

Allan Lowson, 10-28-05, NZQN-NZQN, 109, bgam007, DC-3, 5th. leg WR05. Red Baron mesh has mountains in the way on the flight path, so had to switch mesh off and go back to default scenery. Pilot excuse no. 387 and I'm sticking to it.

To be for real fuel is a problem may need to cheat here. Better luck next time though all in fun for sure.

John Franco, 10-12-05, NZQN-NZQN, 101, BGAN011, World Rally 2005 DC3, DC3 World Rally 2005 flights 5a and 5b. There was a brief stop at NZMF(Milford Sound NZ). The approaches into Milford Sound and Queenstown NZ i felt were interesting with their own touches. I had to maneuver around a mountain coming into Milford Sound, and hyad a little trouble spooting the airport, so i was up at 1500 feet instead of 800 doing about 90KIAS to find the airport, and when I did, I was relieved to make a safe landing on the short runway. I shut down the engines briefly to get the next FS NAV plan up, and then I headed out. Coming into Queenstown NZ was cool because the runway i noticed was on a plateau so i came in a tad high to avoid hitting the edge of the cliff. A smooth landing then prevailed. I had plenty of fuel for this leg and because I took out the passenger and baggage weight, the plane suprisingly cruised between 150 and 160 KIAS for this flight even with settings of 30IN MP and 2050RPM cruise with leaned mixture.

Jon Carlson, 10-26-05, EGPA - EGPA, 52, bgas012, Cessna Caravan 208, October Feature in the Orkneys. Fourth flight on monday schedule. Carrying lots of pasengers for most of this flight. Actually bringing back full compliment of passengers and jam-packed cargo pod. Made for interesting take off from Papa Westray heavily laden almost into the wind. Used ALL of the runway. I can see why they normally use a DH.6. The Caravan is nice, but, with anything more than half fuel and half passenger/cargo load it really strains to get into the air in time. Only 2 minutes behind schedule this flight!

 

Jon Carlson, 10-26-05, EGPA - EGPA, 42, bgas012, Cessna Caravan 208, October Feature. Third flight of morning schedule (monday). From Kirkwall to Stronsay then to Sanday and back to Kirkwall. Wind has shifted and is coming from about 300* making for interesting landings. Only five minutes off schedule this time.

 

Jon Carlson, 10-26-05, EGPA - EGPA, 47, bgas012, Cessna Caravan 208, Second flight of the morning schedule. October Feature in the Orkneys. Wind has picked up. Out to Westray. Crosswind landing. Then to Papa Westray. Took 5 minutes instead of 2 as I am still getting used to the turboprop. And back to Kirkwall only 7 minutes behind schedule. Two more flights before lunch.

 

Jon Carlson, 10-26-05, EGPA - EGPA, 43, bgas012, Cessna Caravan 208, First flight on Monday schedule for October Feature. Must be a rookie as I land at North Ronaldsay on 3rd try. Actually I'm not used to turboprops. Takes a while to get used to all that power and its 'delayed' availability. Finish at Kirkwall 6 min. behind schedule. Close.

I totally botched up the landing because i was about 1/2 of a mile to the left, and i nearly hit some trees. But i made it off the runway with about 3 gallons of fuel left in the Aux. tank and the mains were dry.

John Franco, 10-19-05, CYLT-CYLT, 20, BGAN011, DHC2 Beaver, I was trying to make some observations on the magnetic north pole in response to my post. I was about 400NM West NW of the CYLT airport(map go to function). Other than recalibrating the Heading indicator a few times, everything seemed normal. My guess is that one can fly through the magnetic north pole without any drastic changes. But to fly from Point A to Point A on the globe (around the world) requires a heading change every so often.

We departed Damascus after they had eaten their only meal for the day. (At sunrise). They enjoyed watching the sun rise and when landing at Adana, they clapped for my extremely smooth landing-almost like the landing that John King makes in the introductory video. If they want to leave Damascus, they will have to find their own way back, since im flying privately over to California for my next flight.(w/Bluegrass)

Jon Carlson, 10-04-05, CYMO - CYKX, 84, bgas012, Beech Baron 58, Load four passengers and some gear. Cripes, they're even bigger than the last group! Another overweight take off for sure. Beech handles it no problem. 55 minutes into flight the port engine sputters and dies. Now there's a problem. Drop from 4600ft to 1900ft while feathering prop and adjusting starboard engine. Make it to Kirkland Lake  OK and make best landing of the day. go figure. Passengers thank me for getting us down in one piece. I thank them for not getting sick in cabin. This IS a borrowed plane, eh!

 

Jon Carlson, 10-04-05, CYYU - CYMO, 68, bgas012, Beech Baron 58, Already had two passengers and now two more and their gear. Definitely heavy on lift off. Later find out we were 120 lbs overweight. Good landing at Moosonee.

 

Jon Carlson, 10-04-05, CYYB - CYYU, 104, bgas012, Beech Baron 58, Take two passengers to Kapuskasing. Good flight but air is a little rough above 4700ft. Increasing clouds but great visibility. Rough landing. hmmm.

Uneventful flight, but a 737 sneaked in ahead of us on the approach to USSS. Fortunately, he managed to get off the runway about 5 seconds before the tower would have requested a go-around.

John Lawler, 10-02-05, UUWW-ULLI, 129, bgad017, IL-14, So much for the good weather. About 50 miles short of St Petersburg, the wind swung to the west, cloud formed into a solid mass, and when we got down the ILS there was a classic Baltic coastal fog under it. However, it hadn't quite got to the labrador -and-white-stick phase, so we got in OK on 28R first time.  Womder if I can hitch a lift to Kirkwall from here?

 

John Lawler, 10-02-05, UWGG-UUWW, 87, bgad017, IL-14, Beaut weather today. It started this morning at USSS with CAVOK, good visibility, and light winds, and haas held all the way to Moscow.

John Lawler, 10-01-05, UNNT-UNOO, 121, bgad017, IL-14, CAVOK weather at Novosibirsk, so we blithely filed a VFR flightplan. As we flew west, cloud appeared and dropped lower, and we eventually got down to under 3000' to keep clear of it. An into-sun landing on the grass strip, 10 minutes before sunset, made for a memorable finish at Omsk.
