    Re: Navy Required - WWA1984 Has Crashed into the Sea!!!

    Yeh, I'd be happy to help as well. Real-World pilots get it so I think we should too. I bought this book a few months ago which has a few exercises on failures, fuel starvation, engine fires, that sort of thing. I'd be happy to edit it a bit and put it up on the website.

    Is TFFF WWA1984's worse enemey??

    OK, I've had it with TFFF, I just took off in the Beechcraft King Air 300 and the Landing Gear didn't go up!!

    I landed back at TFFF without incident and after a quick inspection it was found that Rain Water got into the Electrics of the Landing Gear System and caused it not to work!!

    The Carribbeans have been hit by a Hurricane (the name I can't remember) and I payed the full price for it as the weather there was way too windy and way too wet!!

    Now is that counted as an Accident to add to my list or can I count this one as a mess up??

     EDIT: I haven't crashed the EMB-120 yet, I think I'll fly that one now!

    Technically that is an incident........here in the states there are very defined criteria for what constitutes an aircraft accident.  I just covered it in training a couple months ago, and promptly flushed it out of my head........it's written down in NTSB 830 I think.,.....
