From The Flightdeck

I thought I’d share a few piccies from our trip today, sorry about the quality, this is my first batch so I am getting used to the perspectives for taking them, also being short sectors the workload can get high so I cut the time that I had the camera in my hand for down.

Snow capped mountains over NE Scotland

Same mountains looking back across the wing

PFD/MFD showing the route, cruise level, cruise IAS (Vmo – 10) etc.

Cruise speed / level, radar heading + cutting the corner off the FMS flightplan (thanks ATC)

This map shows the corner being cut off our waypoint better. 347kts TAS, as good as any jet at this cruise altitude.

Sun setting over northern England

And finally do not try and take piccies during periods of moderate turbulence πŸ™‚

I’ll try and find time to update the type rating diary this week.

Thanks for looking

Hi James

Yes mate we can land at LCY, but we are limited to manual approaches only, this placard is saying we can’t do autopilot coupled steep approaches. There are lots of other criteria too that has to be met, can’t list them here for obvious reasons.

Oh right thank you for the information Deano cant wait for the next set 😎

Thank you bmi-star, I shall certainly post more when I get them

CKing, the No 3 Hyd system is a backup system to the No 1 & 2 system, in the event of an engine failure (or loss of No 1 & 2 system) the No.3 system operates automatically and powers the Elevators only, when it is on the pump keeps the PSI between 2600 & 3250. We can switch it on ourselves to test it which we do before every flight.

Thanks for the reply. DHC do it differently than Airbus and Boeing then!

There have been instances of videos appearing on youtube that have been frowned upon quite heavy. πŸ˜‰

Yes indeed, so if you’d like something shot professionally, you only have to ask. Can’t guarentee it won’t still be frowned upon though…:diablo: πŸ˜€

Thank you for the comments guys, I’ll post some more when I get the chance to get the camera out again.

I take it you can’t land that Dash 8 at LCY by looking at the sign in the 2nd shot?

Hi James

I’m guessing these were taken from an ABZ-LBA from the looks of the route on the ND?

You may well be correct Mark πŸ˜‰

Next step…Videos! πŸ˜€

Noooo, I’m pushing it posting these on the forums, even though you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to work out the particulars I have refrained from using any “official” quotes etc “just incase”.

Many very rude insults are swirling round my head right now! You’re one lucky guy! πŸ˜€
