Patrick Stewart, 05-31-06,
CYBW-EIFN, 639, bgas060, b-314, This was a trip and a
half. Long, long time. I used FSNAV to keep me on course. Got to learn how to
navigate w/o. Even tho I cheated using FSNAV it still felt good to hear the
NDB at EIFN. Even then, I can't find a
gauge to read the NDB.....
DON MOORE, 05-24-06, HECA-LLMZ, 89,

1000' below sea level, landed on the third attempt.

to UGOY which is only 4.3 miles away but somehow I got confused and landed back

due to a funky approach. When Approaching Wilmington, Delaware, unexplainable
altimeter variations and wind shifts caused both my engines to quit and I
executed an emergency landing on a nearby road in the approach path for runway

57, BGAN011, DC3, Let's see, where do I begin. This
flight was done at Night and in the rain. I utilized the Atlantic City VOR and
an area NDB on FSNAV to get me lined up for a visual approach to runway 3 at
Hammonton (N81) I was flying by hand of course and had to go around once and
come in for another try. I made it in on the second attempt.
