Alright, on my way. The routing for the 748 works I know because it's nearly identical to the CV-580 route we ran the other way in real life to bring them all back from Europe and beyond.

Bollox, with Jonesey's fantastic advice I got BMFT as far as CYFB & I'm now sat there on the tarmac & FlyNet is refusing to take me off 'taxi' even though I've applied the parking brake several times, taxied round a bit, waited for ages etc.
Seems the client has now stopped responding too so I guess I'm stuffed.
I notice there are some other similar reports recently on the FlyNet forum.
Anyone know of any emergency procedure for getting the flight completed, or do I just have to start again?
Talk about taking the wind out of your sails. :sad:

There is something I think about copying the error messages and then you can be credited.
I don't know anything about it apart from something can be done if you have the info

This is where she is now, in Africa (surprise...) Last report on it's status is that it's stored in Kenya.

Guys... Is there a problem with Flynet as I can't seem to book my flight for this?
[edit] Just realised Its because I don't yet have a type rating on the Andover... :doho:

Hi Ben,
As soon as I can get into FlyNET I'll give out the 780 Ratings. All 748 pilots will get a 780 rating, if you want it removed, let me know.

Cheers John,
Not a bad first leg, but if anyone is flying real weather, beware the high ground around the west Coast of Greenland... especially on approach to BGBW. I very nearly met my end! :shock:

But that's why you fly along the inlet/bay/whatever it is.
