March 9, 201214 yr Actually,the ultralight I got my license in really was extraordinary when it came to the amount of work you had to do with the feet in order to fly cleanly. A friend who got his UL-license the same time in the same aircraft is also rated on different GA planes and some twin props - he also used to be a CFI - and he also stated that he had never flown an aircraft where you had to be as active with the feet as in the Eurocub! :DI absolutely concur that some real stick time makes you a better sim pilot. When I flew taildraggers in MSFS, I would certainly land but it wasn't pretty and always too fast. Once I started applying what I learned flying for real in the Eurocub, which also is a taildragger, it was like a whole new world opened up! :D Now I can spend literally hours in the circuit over an ORBX airport in my Sibwings Birddog doing touch and goes!Flying for real is so much more fun than simming, but at least simming the only bills you have is electricity.
March 9, 201214 yr Interestingly one of the approaches is into 35L (and a bit of 17R presumably) at Congonhas, Sao-Paulo - having just watched the episode of Air Crash Investigation (Mayday! outside of the UK I think) about TAM flight 3054 it really showed how much of a 'table top' airport it is and how any runway excursion is extremely bad news.

March 12, 201214 yr Nice touch at 0:26 into the video!Whoops! Something went wrong here, I meant that there was a nice touch at 0:26 in the A318 video. Thanks, Kevin L
March 12, 201214 yr Whoops! Something went wrong here, I meant that there was a nice touch at 0:26 in the A318 video.Yes, the IPAD, pilots carry them everywhere now.On a side note Kevin, does YBBN still have the Airside Tours?
March 13, 201214 yr I didn't know Avianca Brasil flew their A318 to Bogotá. Or what I'm seeing landing at SKBO runway 13L is an Avianca Colombia aircraft?

March 13, 201214 yr i have watched the Sail video and some of his other ones way too many times to be healthy. I think the only aviation I have watched more is the final night Kai Tak one. Daniel Miller
March 14, 201214 yr Very cool video, very bad music :) Simmerhead - Making the virtual skies unsafe since 1987!
March 23, 201214 yr On a side note Kevin, does YBBN still have the Airside Tours?Not that I know of, what's this? Thanks, Kevin L
