After my intro flight in a Cessna 150 on 5 April, I thought that I might never want to take the controls of a plane again:

This morning I flew solo for the first time, in Cessna 172P C-GPMR (Papa Mike Romeo); for model and configuration info, type the registration into the search field at http://www.tc.gc.ca/aviation/ad/ad_e.htm If you want to fly the circuit yourself, try fgfs --aircraft=c172-3d --airport-id=CYOW --wind=85@5 --heading=40 Field elevation is approximately 375ft ASL, and circuit altitude for Rwy 04 is 1500ft ASL with left-handed turns. You have to do a slant base to say clear of the big jets on the approach path to 07, so turn to about 90 degrees instead of 130 degrees on the base leg. Thanks again, and all the best, David -- David Megginson, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.megginson.com/ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
