Title: Hair raising ASHA flight
Threaded Mode
#1
I have moved to Bolivia to complete more training flights with the ASHA Training division. This flight seemed to be going as planned until a loss of avionics left me with only my backup instuments.

Details of the flight are here

Here I am taking off at over 12oooft.

At altitude, it was about here that I lost my avionics.

No joy trouble shooting the avionics, but having been vectored to the airfield I start my decsent to land.

I over fly the field to get a look at what I am up against.

I have to go around on the first attempt to land as I was carrying to much speed.

Now on my second approach with my speed under control

On the runway with brakes on and engines on full reverse.

Thanks. The aircraft is the Aeroworx Beech King Air, a cracking piece of software. The scenery is just Ground Environment Pro II and, Global FS and ActiveSky6.

I got a real sense of achievment landing this one, it would have been very tough anyway, but with no attitude display it was just that little more interesting Smile
