Leg 36: see table

Did another non-ils flight without making a runwayfile. Dammit. The file made by FSFS said rwy 26 and 260 deg. I set my Nav1 OBS to 260 and got moving. No problems, and when entering landingmode, I pressed advance button, and flaps 10 deg, in one second. Then continued to land. Smith kept saying  "Get lined up with the runway" and I checked my file with the OBS and it was both 260. So I landed (landing heading was 263) and I got that 50.xx crappy landingscore. and look at the log. It seems like I am both aligned with runway, and poor alignment with runway! How the f... can it be both? and how can the file made by FSFS be wrong? it was not 260 it was 263, so I got screwed.

OK I expect noone to shed a tear at my misfortune, but it IS strange. AND I got bummed for "flaps not down on time" too. WTF?

 I TOLD YOU OLE   --  THE FAIRIES HAVE STRUCK AGAIN

The score so far  fairies 1  Ole 0

                        fairies 2  Biggles 1

I also got the "flaps not down in time" message.

When is the best time to advance to "landing"......downwind crosswind or on finals      or does it really matter to fsfs as long as you dont extend flap in cruise mode?

Biggles

By the way where is TPX?

Score 1 - 1 

I'm going. See you next Sunday

Biggles.

I always crossdress while flying. Womens underwear always make me feel so.... on my toes! Smith seems to like it too.

Whats the Wx?

See you in Cuba.
