Hi Guys
With a full compliment of passengers and a belly full of cargo CBFS VA Trident 3 services were tonight inaugurated with a flight from Heathrow to Edinburgh. G-AWZE took to the skies with Rick Piper at the controls - again.
Nice work Rick

Hi Chaps
Not really flown the Trident seriously before.
very different to what i am used to but a bit of a missile in the cruise :shock:
Good Fun to fly but i need to read up on all this Autoland Malarkey
Not used it & landings i thought where really smooth showed over 200fpm touchdowns as i'm not used to so much length
I'm thinking like i am in the 748 and wheels are on the ground just as i flare
Regards
Rick
Just Noticed thats 25 flights & promoted to Captain
Captain Rick (nah!, sounds like I need my pants on over me tights)

Rick, you must have ssen it, but if not d/l trident autoland tutorial by Peter Mcleland, It's very informative, and easy to understand as well.
I still have trouble with the altitude hold on the trident, 1000 ft/m osillation even with the fix installed, I'm lost as what to do next?.
well done with the pocket rocket!
Robbie.
