I don't like this video!!!

[Title27GT]

Default ATC? Please tell me you've heard of vatsim.

[jmr604]

Yeah, I know what VATSIM is.. but I don't bother.  I fly in real life, that's good enough.

[afgrocks123]

@jmr604 hey, since you are a real pilot, have a question for you. I just got my PPL and I don't know if flying is the best idea for living.. what do you recommend. I really am excited about flying, but my dad says it gets boring after a few years.. (HE IS A CHECK-PILOT) What do you recom?

[jmr604]

@afgrocks123 I love flying, it is my life. I can't imagine doing anything else. Yes, it does get boring at times, but you know what. EVERY JOB GETS BORING AT TIMES. .. There are also many other times that I say to myself; "I love my job" and it is fun. I am a charter pilot so. Every day is different. Do what you love. That is my advice.

[afgrocks123]

@jmr604 Thank you very much! Now I can confidently go ahead and do my job,, my dad wants me to do something that has a higher pay since I have really high marks at school (Grade 11) but being a pilot is what i love.. this is most likely cuz i have 1000 experience on fsx and fly about 2 times a month with my dad on the airbus.. anyway, thank you very much,, i can never forget my first flight on the cherokee!

nice vid...well done

[diegomaza]

where did you find this plane? please!!!...nice video!!

[jmr604]

lol.. this video has been up for almost 2 years and this is the first time I noticed that mistake.

[elvetio]

this is not the usal approach to porto santo!

[Mattyheli]

Nice video mate

[aircanadapilotz]

are u sure its safe to disconnect auto pilot at that far away from the airport lol

[jmr604]

Well, I guess so.. its called piloting. I've been flying airplanes for 8 years. Real life, not simulator. Cessna 172, Cesnna 206, Piper Cherokee 140 and Cheorkee Six. Some IFR time on an Aztec. All single pilot flying and I've never used an autopilot.

[aircanadapilotz]

i just use autopilot to decend i dont like taking chances cuz my hands can do some pretty weird things

[iloveaviation]

hey i need some help. I've been thinking of taking aviation as a career and be a pilot but the salaries are sooooo bad and it takes so long to fly a a319 or and a320. do you recommend piloting as a future?

[jmr604]

If love it.. go for it.. you shouldn't do it for the money.. you get paid enough. I do anyway.

[iloveaviation]

thanks.... can you please give me an average salary when you start and wether i should go through university or go to flying school.

Thanks soo much.

[marko071988]

[pxoboy]

instal wonderful madeira !!!!!!!!! the best cenary to madeira islands :)

[Mrtaa]

Sorry let me refrase that

Hi,

Please let me know, I've been wanting to know for ages; how do you fuel stop

e.g. Innsbruck to St. Maarten, do you creat a IFR direct from Innsbruck to St. Maarten and ask the air traffic control something that I don't know about or do you do something else?

Please reply! (:

Mrtaa

[jmr604]

You have to make a flight plan from Insbruck to your fuel stop point. Then after you refuel you have to load and get clearance from your fuel stop point to your destination.

[jmr604]

In Real life your flight plan would be from Innsbruck to St. Maarten with a fuel stop at whereever, but Flight Sim ATC won't let you do stops, so you have to make two flight plans. One to your fuel stop and one to your destination.

[Jamalje]

awesome vid!!!! how to upload your videos on youtube

[askedenseje]

very unrealistic porto santo scenery but rest is very enjoyable.

[jmr604]

Yeah... I admit some of the stock scenery on the flight sim is pretty plain..

[lufthansaflightno195]

what addon is this for people on st maarten beach?

[jmr604]

I can't remember.. it was freeware...but I've since got payware from simmarket.

[772pilot]

Hey,how long did it take for your video to process?

[jmr604]

I don't remember I loaded this video 6 months ago.. but usually they take from a minutes to half an hour.

[blub77]

nice trip but why did you do it offline ...online flying is much more fun ...on networks such as IVAO...

btw great choice of the aircraft...727 rules... my fav. aircraft :D

[jmr604]

I do fly online, but I can't when making videos because I pause a lot... plus I like to leave my computer a lot so I don't fly online all the time... I'll pause and come back later... and my mic died a while ago so I just never bothered to get a new one... would like to use my real head set.. but then I can't hear a murderer sneaking up behind me when I'm home alone. lol

[Manic4000]

What program

[jmr604]

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004.

[isilive]

Nice Video. I searched for an st. maarten landing and I am from Innsbruck *gggg*

[jmr604]

You got your landing and now you know how to get there. :P

[ScottishMJfan]

Good vid seems lime an enjoyable flight

[772pilot]

@ st. marteen, you taxi to the end of the runway, then backtrack.

[jmr604]

Yeah, I know now.. didn't think of it then... kinda tight eh? lol

[jmr604]

I'm not sure.. about 250KIAS.. probably a little lower than normal because I reduced the power a bit to reduce the fuel flows.. if I didn't I would have ran out of fuel.. I only flew that 727 a few times.

[jmr604]

I'm not familiar with real life air speed regs outside North America

[jmr604]

In all Microsoft Sims (Not sure about FSX) You can go any speed you like and ATC doesn't bark.

[leebee04]

superb landing i dont like st maarten 2 short of a runway for me

[jmr604]

Thanks.. its not short if a 747 can land on it. lol :P

[MrSouthAfrica2006]

Its realy cool video.Thanks for showing

[jmr604]

Glad you like it.

[jmr604]

I normally don't.. but I was high and low on fuel so I choose to use them that time.

[leonelp51]

try dont use spoilers on descent : ) see the descent calculation om the AOM of the 727
