The A2A Simulations Community

Thanks, I guess this will not work in P3D, but I've also FSX steam installed with my A2A planes which I haven't bought for P3D.

Some more screens from Netherlands Antilles.

Thanks, added to my todo list while I have an aircraft on this side of the Atlantic. Last time I was here it was with the P-51D Civilian, but I didn't land at St Barts but the Bonanza should be able to get in and out....I think....must go find some charts....

There you go: https://ww2.jeppesen.com/wp-content/upl ... 6/TFFJ.pdf

You should be good in the Bonanza, although there doesn’t seem to be published LDAs/TODAs…

I wouldn't call me an expert. Still struggling in the Bonanza with controls on crosswind takeoffs. Rudder aileron interconnect... I guess it's far more intuitive in a real plane with the seat on the pants feeling. The acceleration forces and reacting to it compared to the sim, where you only can react to what you see, which is far to late. I'm always banking, crabbing violently after rotation.

For St. Barts, low over the roundabout, not too fast, chop throttle, steeping the glide, flare and touchdown near the white markers, definitely not beyond the taxiway exit. If you are not on the ground with all the wheels and can start braking at this point, you better go around.

nice pictures

Thanks,

and some more from the approach, hope this is not getting boring for you:

no it's not boring to me. but i have seen that airport on tv before

I remember trying to land there in a a Twin Otter…there is a “sweet spot” you have to find…which I never did! Nice screenshots , Jens!

It's a fun strip with the Civ Mustang!

Cheers,
Rob

i bet it would be.

My recent flight took me south from St. Barth to Dominica. On the approach to Douglas-Charles Airport my left flap failed and I encountered strong roll to the left. As this was shortly after setting flaps to full, I immediately was able to retract and resumed normal flight attitude and did a go around and continued with a no flaps landing.

Short before the mishap:


After taxiing to parking:


I may have oversped the flaps during some approaches to St. Barths

yeah a busted flap is really fun i had one break on the p-51 once. it's a hand full but it can be landed. this was virtually of course im not sure about real life.

Congrats on making it down, that in itself is quite the achievement given the small think time given when it all tends to go wrong.

cheers,
Lewis

A little cheating is involved, as I have set up the flaps up and down keys to one of my HOTAS throttle thumb 4-way switches But I guess you can leave the hand on the Bonanza's flap switch while they extend and immediately return to retract position when something goes weird.

Update:
Flap damage confirmed and repaired in Dominica


En route to Martinique Fort de France

you must beat the crap outta the por thing it needs two tires and a flap
