I really liked this shot approaching our T/D for Heathrow after a flight from Gander! Thought I'd share with you all.

The sky looks sweet nice capture there.

 

Kind regards

What Airline/type/reg were you flying?

 

Nice pic too

Looks like you are a habitual NAI user...second shot this week in clear air with a SAT well below -40'C...ahh I do love a good 'simmism'.

 

Nice sky though.

Hahaha, you like the idea of flying fast, 0.8 for the NG is super fast. i have got a very similer one, will post later on, cheers.

Great shot. I remember flying lots of NAT track crossings between North America and Europe in the PMDG 747, it was always so much fun to watch the sun start to peek from the horizon, and to watch the ND slowly become littered with named way points and airport idents as I was approaching Ireland or Scotland, a sure sign that the transatlantic crossing is drawing to a close and that I need to become prepared for descent. That was ages ago, as I have taken to the NGX and short to medium hauls exclusively since August 2011, but this sight could again become common for me when at last, the PMDG T7 finally arrives!!!

I got her to Mach .81 on a different flight ha. Considering it was smooth air I didn't see the problem. I was able to maintain it across the Atlantic since it was really smooth. Thanks!

I do a lot of fictional flights in the NGX, so I use the 'Bluebandet' repaint for the B738WL with a "PVT" Callsign on Vatsim. Cheers!

Sky was far from clear below, just not evident in the shot. I use AS2012 - cheers.

You actually only need TAI on when flying in visible moisture, and it's rare you'd ever need it on at FL370 anywhere in the world - let alone in Europe. It's a nice screenshot nonetheless!

I see, I thought it was standard to put it on at 10C - I'll remember that thanks. Far from proficient in this aircraft lol.

 

Edit: that's on the ground, should learn some more about this ha.

It's pretty standard across all aircraft (I think) - you turn it on generally when the temperature is below 10C (not -10C) and in visible moisture (i.e. an actual cloud layer) when outside of visible moisture there's no real benefit to using anti-icing - also as someone else mentioned it's not needed when the SAT is below -40C. So if you're on the ground and there's clouds, fog less than 1600m or it's raining/snowing and the OAT is below +10C you'd be wanting to use anti-ice on takeoff. The same rules apply when the TAT is below +10C and you're flying in visible moisture. Once the OAT/SAT is below -40C there's no need for anti-ice, even if you're on the ground.

 

Wing anti-ice is only used in-flight and IRL is usually turned on when there's indications of structural ice forming (usually visible on the windows etc.)

Brilliant - Thanks Luke!
