Re: Gaining and maintaining Type ratings
Ok, landed at 20:26Z which gave me a flt time of 3 hours 23 minutes. The flight felt great, I managed the fuel good so the aircraft was nicely balanced at landing. I got the descent planning done good so I was at 2500 about 13 miles out of rwy 27L. I hand flew the ILS app to rwy 27L from that point, both intercepting LOC and GS. Did a pretty good job and the approach was stable and a good touchdown.
The only problem is that I forgot the bloody landing lights and realised it at 500ft AGL... too late for the software to register me turning them on.
Well I leave it up to you to decide, It felt like a really good flight compared to the first ones and I got the planning working and feel much more confident.

Can I request a trainee rating on Concorde please, also does Concorde get penalised for exceeding 250KIAS below FL100? (it certainly shouldn't)
