Welcome to Gdansk
Well!! It has taken me some time to get here. At one stage it looked like I was not going to get out of the Ukraine at all. It would seem that the few weeks away from the simulator has made me forget how to fly this thing. I had a few failed attempts at landing EPGD over the week, but I'm going to blame it on the Russian President Putin and the fact the east of Ukraine has been under siege for a few weeks by civil war. I seem to have taken a few steps backwards in my flying and finding it difficult to capture the glideslope on landing.
