Er, what are they offering for the donation?

Sorry to be so thick but on first reading I thought £5+ got you a quick go, approach and landing (instructor then gave marks, someone scored most and got a prize). Now I feel it maybe £5+ to enter a draw to win an hour in the Sim.

I've failed the initiative test, can't find that info anywhere.

Had a little think though and if landing speed is (guessing) 140Kts, the 3 mile final doesn't give you many seconds to get your head and hands in the game. I foresee a lot of crashes :shock:

@T6Harvard, I had to seek clarification myself, hence the delay.

It’s normally a £14 landing fee for a SEP so a fiver for two crashes, sorry, meant landings, is a bargain !

Better get the Blackbushe fire crew on standby :lol: !

USN used to use it for DC4s and DC6s ('R5's and 'R6's), and civil airlines with the likes of DC7s and Constellations
