Well the trees does not grow into the sky! (Danish expression) and my three splendid landings did no become a foursome,

But airports like these really makes you appriciate populated areas with nice ILS systems. How good it is to have PAPI lights and all to look for when going down towards the runway... Who picked those airports anyway? erm.. guess it was me!

 
Checklists                                                                                                                                   OK - ready to go!

 
Up and away. Northbound                                                                                                                     Still looks like a swim would be great!

 
But hey - It´s getting colder down there..... Where is my muff?                                                                     Great - ice for my whiskey-compass!

 
Getting ready for turning onto final                                                                                                     Now where are those PAPI´s? Looks like a Caribbean beach? well it aint! 

Ladies and Gentlem.... Arh sorry Mr.Smith. Please don´t get mad. How would you rate that nice landing? - want a drink Mr.Smith?

This runway has headings of 33 true and 213 true and this is the basis of the naming of the runways.

The name of the runway in the NonILS file is for human reference only. You could theoretically call it runway 99 and it would work so long as you knew which one it was.

The heading has to be magnetic.

I have to say that before I undertook an important or a long flight to a nonILS runway I was not sure about, I would set myself up in mid-air and do a landing there (would take about 3 minutes) just to make sure that the nonILS file has been made correctly. 

OK - that might take away from the thrill of seeing it for the first time as you land there after a long flight, but it would avoid any possible disappointment from having made the nonILS file incorrectly.

It´s true that it would be wise to have a peek at the landing before going 2 hours and messing it up, but that´s also some of the fun, having these zeros and blaming - always blaming - Mr.Smith for being unfair We know better!

Thank you SL. I will not blame the runwayfile then, but myself - once again!

It´s true that it would be wise to have a peek at the landing before going 2 hours and messing it up, but that´s also some of the fun, having these zeros and blaming - always blaming - Mr.Smith for being unfair We know better!

That's exactly what I've been trying to preach ever since I found this product!  Why is it taking everyone so long to figure this out?  Like I've said all along, it is so much easier to blame everyone else than yourself!   Why take it out on yourself when I can easily blame Ole, SL, or Mr. Smith!   It's obvious isn't it? 

Do you seem to recall me saying, and trust me I'm kidding when I say this....who picked these spots.  There is nothing up here...I had the same thoughts too....where's some PAPI lights to help out...sheez...can you imagine you're in trouble, tired, mentally fatigued and you had to land at one of the places for real?

Hey, I don't wanna brag or nothing, you know it's not in my nature to do so....errr....

Check out your recent pictures of default scenery, and mine on page 6 of my log.  Check out all the extra and supposedly mapped correctly mountains, valleys, beaches, etc.  I'm really pleased now seeing mine over default which I'm kinda looking at yours for comparisions now.

Glad you are on the war path and catching up...

If you look at (and read) my last flight log, You will see me asking that exact question - who the *beep* chose those airstrips? and anwsering it myself....

When comparing pictures, just remember that because of my current state of computer, I fly on pretty low settings, except for water, I love the reflective water, so no compromises there.

I will catch up with you in London as I said.

So - you guys are meeting in London?

Hey - let's meet in a pub!
