Somebody's losing their JOB:

Just arrived thru some nasty TS into KEUG from Rapid City, SD (KRAP, no jokes, been there done that) in my #XPlane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision jet.

Parked in my usual spot in front of the old terminal, called for fuel, and the driver was apparently suffering "first day on the job" woes.

Drove the fuel truck right thru my left wing. Ever heard of a BRAKE PEDAL?

Called his boss and got: "No worries, that'll buff right out."

So tonight I found out the (very) hard way that an #XPlane #flightsim #Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet will not fly into +SN and FZFG with no icing protection.

Was inbound to KTVL (South Lake Tahoe Airport), I knew WX was nasty, but forgot to turn on probe and windshield heat. On extended final, started losing airspeed, and was at full throttle, flaps and gear down about 2NM from the numbers.

The jet dropped out of the sky hard, right wing just fell away, and we ended up in the water.

It was chilly.

If you follow me, you know I've been flying a Dash 8-400 in my #XPlane #flightsim. Well, I have been having major stuttering issues, turns out it was the plane.

Deleted that plane, and went back to Laminar Research's (makers of X-Plane) rock solid #Cirrus SF50 Vision jet. Flies perfectly.

Modded with significantly increased thrust, ferry tank (because big engine sucks fuel) and replaced sucky landing lights with blowtorches.

Parked at KSEA next to a Virgin 747.

Wer für #Android eine Open-Source #Wetter-App ohne Werbung und ohne Spionage-Tracker sucht, dem kann ich #Cirrus empfehlen. Installierbar via F-Droid.

Die App bietet #Regenradar und sehr übersichtlich gestaltet für mehrere einstellbare Orte lokale 7-Tage-Vorhersage und stündliche Vorhersage der Temperatur mit Sonnenscheindauer, UV-Index, Wolkenbedeckung, Regenvorhersage, Windgeschwindigkeit, Windrichtung, relative Feuchtigkeit, Luftdruck auf Basis der Daten von Open-Meteo.
