Short Description: None Provided

This a short test flight with Flight Factor's 757 for X-Plane 10.

If you only want to see the landing skip to minute 14.

Flight consists of take-off from Tenerife North runway 30 (GCXO), climb to 6000', turn 180º right on a long downwind leg and turn right back to the ILS 30. Approach was flown fully manual and raw data.

To the "criticizers":

Yes, I know I didn't set the flaps on take-off, my mistake... (or maybe I just wanted to check the TOWS worked)

Yes, I know I exceeded EGT with the reversers on rollout... (I come from MFS, where maximum reverse will never do that)

Yes, I know I could have touched down a little softer and kept my altitudes a little better and flown better in general. This is my second flight with this aircraft so be "considerate".
