Landing a 737 on a short grass strip
In this episode, I have a bit of fun with the X-Plane 11 home simulator, since real flying has been out of the question recently. I practise some engine failures after take off, stalls, and see if I can take off and land a 737 from a short grass airfield.
Keeping current on a home simulator
Before I learnt to fly real aeroplanes, I flew simulated ones on Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Because of the recent Covid lockdown, I decided to revive my virtual flying.
Last flight before lockdown
Just before the we were ordered to ‘stay at home’, I was able to take one last flight.
