Missed Flight

Well I had planned Barbados and back in Concorde today, first trip, at about 500 feet on approach to Adams, FS threw a wobbly, reset the fuel in half the tanks (putting CofG way out of limits) and caused a disconnect with FSAirlines, so it duly cancelled the flight!

Second attempt, half way there I accidentally pushed my PC chair in and the leg pressed against the OFF switch, 5 seconds later, total shutdown.

I will not have time to fly the trip again (I go back to work tomorrow) so I guess I am going to get a penalty for not flying a booked flight.

Still on the plus side I flew an Archer to Doncaster yesterday in fairly awful weather, there is a kind of satisfaction to hand flying an ILS down to below 500', photo attached of Emley Moor mast from 3,500 fet.

Hello Mate :hello:

Yup.. that's definitely mucky weather!! Nice shot though :thumbsup:

Re a penalty.. when this sort of thing happens and a flight 'times out'.. the only penalty is financial to the pilot, the airline takes no hit ;)
