RE: Steering The Nose Gear: How?

I know that Dash8 can be also switched to mode where you can turn nosewheel with yoke.

RE: Prop Speed Question

I'm not a prop, turboprop fan myself, but actually you "change" the propeller speed with PROP RPM handle that is usually between throttle and mixture. Though DC-3 has it in the left :P. Sure it doesnt change gears or something like that, but it changes the prop blades angle and basically you set pro...

RE: What's The Wheel On The Center Console?

Absolutely correct, the extremely neccessary pitch trim it indeed is. The "klak-klak-klak" sound comes with 727 and 737 type planes, where manual trimming is possible by turning the rotating wheels by hand. In normal situations, pilots use the electrical trim buttons on the yoke, then the wheel is r...

RE: Engine Start Question

Sure it may be possible when good pressure appears. Though they usually start two engines together with 4 engine jets, like A340 or 747, because their engines are smaller and a bit easier to run into RPM too.

RE: Cockpit Visits After Landing?

Well I got to the cockpit during the flight as well, I just talked to my friend who is pilot in that airline and he told my name to the captain of my flight. But they should let you in after plane has parked. It should be quite same that before 9/11 also not all pilots in the world didnt let people ...

IE Downloading Problem

There is also a checkbox asking if you want that to be asked next time or not. Accidently, I deselected the box so now its downloading all fil...

RE: Your Best Commercial Airliner Model

All my airliner models are these easy-assemble ones bought from airports. I think my best one at all is the 1:32 F4-F Phantom. Its the Revell model and Im trying to put it together very carefully and professionally. I have finished the cockpit with catapult seats so far . . .

RE: Emergency After Takeoff? Photo

I am not very sure if its fuel dumping. Its actually too close to the engine, imagine if one engine is on fire, the heat coming out from it will probably fire up the fuel and you are a burning stick in the air. Usually fuel is dumped from wingtips as I know? Though I cant find any other logical expl...

RE: Lufthansa To Tallinn

Well, yes I believe it has pretty long range, but anyway, they usually dont make so long flights with that bird. Yes, Foxtrot will be replaced with a newer one. No more news about expansion. But I have heard they are making new routes outside Estonia, like Oslo-Berlin etc. Though its not official in...

RE: Taxi Speed

Usually between 10-20 kts. If you are on a straight taxiway and long way to go, give around 20. In 90 degree turns, don't exceed 10! I believe that its up to pilot how fast he goes when backtracking. As its a runway, you can give as much as you can get out from the engines, but you'll have to slow i...

RE: Sailplane

I have been flying a sailplane many times. It is different from a motorplane, because it doesn't have loud engine sound, only whining of air. Its pretty much like a fighter without noise <img src="/discussions/graphics/smile.gif" ALT="Smile">. Ofcourse it feels a lot easier to handle and more ...

Lufthansa To Tallinn

Hello!

My friend said that Lufthansa is going to operate new line between some airport in Germany and Tallinn (Estonia). Does anybody have better information about it and if it really will, then with which planes and from where?

Thanks!

RE: FS2006: What Would You Like To See?

Good topic!
