2011 Around-The-World Race Pireps Thread
svenks replied to arrvoo's topic in AVSIM's Round the World Race Forum
Very wisely, he said....Unfortunately, there a bit more to the story than that. As we had to fly Airbuses from LFBO, I had taken an A320. Not that I mineded that, but I had only done 1 leg in A320 - and that was yesterday.But how hard can it be...???But Mr. Murphy had something in store for me. I realized I was high and It didn't seem like the autopilot would allow a crash descent. So I turned off the A/P and began a hand flown 360. No problem keeping track of the airport with TrackIR, right? - WRONG!!!The sun (the real one) came out, and it turns out that it will reflect in a window on my neighbors house, thru the window in my kitchen - which some 20 ft behind me when I fly. So suddenly TrackIR found this big piece of infrared much more interesting than my trackclip, and the view started shifting up, down, left, right. I didn't get it!!!And all the while I was struggling with this, my airspeed dropped without me noticing, until Alpha Floor kicked in and firewalled my throttle. And apparently there is no way to turn the A/T off when in that mode, so even if I began a desparate climb, I could not prevent a fatal overspeed - rats.Lessons learned: 1) No matter what happens, FLY THE AIRCRAFT. Get it stable somehow, in my case I should used my 2D instrument panel, THEN looked at TrackIR.2) Keep the shade down in the kitchen..........BRGDSSven -
