Island Express TNCM - SABA

Follow a Continental Island Exress Beech 1900D on route from Princess Juliana to the fabled SABA airport. SABA has the shortest commercial runway in the world and in reality a Beech 1900D would be to large to operate safely but thanks to the world of FS9 it can be done. If you want to try this yourself then try the following tips. Line up your approach way out, bleed the speed off early before commencing a gear down, full flap approach at about 5.5degrees G/S (approx 900fpm) aim for the piano keys (or earlier!) any later and your going around. Dont forget SABA is 300ft AMSL so keep an eye on your altitude. Aircraft & Scenery info in credits.

witch takes up less space... fsx or fs9

[CloudSurferUK]

Out of the box, FS9 uses less space. Its when you start adding add-ons that they both get big! My FS9 is currently 90GB, but then I have a lot of add-ons.

[atomicflex]

@DaNorBeat Stand on the brakes, Max power, good amount of elevator trim and a light load, easy ;)

[DaNorBeat]

Well, tbh landing the Beech 1900D there is okay... but you can't take off with it from Saba. ( I couldn't )
