December 27, 201312 yr Author Attention whores! People crying wolf trying to screw it up for the rest of us! On a positive note, I did have another emergency last night... the power failed on my radio and Nav deck. Before I lost complete power I was able to get clearance to land on 16R instead of 16L which was being used by the bulk of traffic landing and departing at Denver. So I wouldn't screw up flow and also I didn't know if my gear would deploy, the controller gave me the longer outboard runway to work the emergency. That's all I ask and I got it. Guess I got one of the controllers that likes or has time to deal with an emergency. I swear my virtual maintenance team sucks. That's one landing gear failure, and an electrical short circuit of the the avionics deck in one month period. And this is with failures set at 1% chance. Is it time for me to play the lotto? I fly about 1 flight a day so that 1 in 15 flights having a problem. That is way to often for a 1% setting.
