Missed Flight
Posted: 30 Nov 2014, 14:56
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.
