Re: VC 10 Autopilot Instruction

Guys thanks for the replies.

You are right of course but I have been a little unwell of late and just didn't see it.

Thanks for the guidance as always.

Re: HS748 Engine Failures

Ok I actually managed my first full flight from Glasgow to Benbecula at 14000ft without mishap! :)

I think it was a matter of getting the fuel trim correct, deice, fuel heating and I put the fuel cross feed on. It worked!

Re: HS748 Engine Failures

I will check the deice Ben. Do you mean slow between 0 and -6 then fast from -6 and beyond?

Didn't use the gust locks at all when taxying.

Unfortunately however no matter what sequence I try I can never seem to to start the engines. I managed to get one st...
