Oslo to Stockholm (ENGM - ESSA)

"Just get me on the ground!!!"

What a nightmare of a flight! Everything was going fine until I disengaged the auto pilot . . then everything just went crazy!! For the next half hour I looped around and around, fighting to re engage the auto pilot . . . loose height and establish an ILS. Finally . . I won . . but I'm not doing that again!!!

Birmingham to Newcastle (EGBB - EGNT)

Departed Birmingham International on the first leg of my around the world trip. Kept the load lite with only a few passengers joining me for this flight, it is boxin day after all. The flight up north was uneventfull with me following to the letter the flight tutorial.

14H27	Arrival: Despite various attempts, I could not get the glide scope on the ILS to capture and ended up landing under direct vision. Don't think I'm going to be able to do that all the time, so had better figure out what I'm doing wrong!

Around the World

Welcome to my around the world challenge. The objective? Get around the world in one year without leaving the comfort of my armchair.

The Rules:
1/  The entire journey must be completed using Microsoft Flight Simulator X
2/  The journey must be undertaken in real time. Starting at Birmingham International on Christmas Day and returning in one year.
3/  Must follow recognised flight routes. Refueling along the way.
4/ Crash  . . .  return to previous airport.
4/  No pushing pause. This rule was amended when it became apparent that an eight hour flight was not going to get me out of walking the dog.
