November 21, 20205 yr Airlifting 90 tons away from Dan Andrews UPS apparently serve four big airports in Australia: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth and have 747-400Fs flying out of Sydney. https://www.pressroom.ups.com/pressroom/ContentDetailsViewer.page?ConceptType=FactSheets&id=1426321549949-957 However, I don't have a payware 747, but I do have (of course! ) a payware MD-11 which has certainly got the reach to get across the continent for my purposes: YMML to YPPH. An early start. +VE Rate.. Climbing away. We'll be cutting the corner across the southern coast of Australia. ...and feet dry again. Initial descent towards Perth. All dirtied up. We were vectored to the ILS for RWY24, but I wanted RWY21 as the wind was blowing from 200.. and there's a lot more tarmac to use . ATC told us to sideslip to 21.. This will be interesting.. Not pretty, but we can deal with it.. (FSX NOTAM -I couldn't get the RWY21 ILS to align until I'd almost got her lined up manually after getting worried I'd fly past the airport). I didn't want to show you the rate of descent... the amount of time it takes the engines to spool up also concentrates the mind.. Touchdown.. and.. BOUNCE! There we go! G'Day Perth. Cheers.

November 21, 20205 yr Great set! I see this bird occasionally dropping into KDFW....flies right over my house. Miss the air traffic over my house pre-COVID days. 😞 Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here

November 24, 20205 yr Woohoo! Great to see the threeholer out again! 🥰 ...though you need to spend some time just practicing your approaches.😁 My FS Videos

No, ATC need to stop giving me dumb approaches - ( sidestep 30 degrees?? How is that even remotely parallel??)and runways when the one I wanted with wind more or less on the nose had a perfectly good and operational ILS system., and a longer runway! The PIC always blames someone or something else!

I am always checking/amending Afcads, writing new approaches, crosswind runways etc etc. My FS Videos
