Greg's MIG run

[Gregory Paul]

Here's my 1st leg of SEA in the MIG-21MF by Ivan Jureaga , with REXWX.
My first leg: (VTBU) to (VTPI).

 

[Gregory Paul]

Crashed on landing at VTPI. Also went up to M1.01. Will have to refly the leg

Re-flying my 1st leg of SEA in the MIG-21MF by Ivan Jureaga , with REXWX.
My first leg: (VTBU) to (VTPI). Looks like I have to take off in rain this time.

 

[Gregory Paul]

Looks like I crashed again and exceeded Mach 1.05! That's it for me today.

 

[PhantomTweak]

Just think of all the great practice you're getting, on what NOT to do.
Now, for a good leg, just don't do that stuff, and it will be perfect

Good luck!

Nice looking MIG GP and great to see you back at SOH I should add.

Also went up to M1.01

You have a little wiggle room at Mach 1.01. Per PRB's NOTAM, you can fly a leg below 1.05 and still be okay.

As long as you don't see this in the text file:

I've been doing some more practice flights. After many failed attempts, I think I'm ready to try the leg again. I've "//" out the GPS gauge in the panel folder. Re-flying my 1st leg of SEA in the MIG-21MF by Ivan Jureaga , with REXWX.
My first leg: (VTBU) to (VTPI).

 

[Gregory Paul]

Wow! Down safe. I thought I was going to land to hard and get a crash again. The photo below was taken at alt. I was keeping a eye on the MACH meter. If you can see the little hand drawn red circle

 

[Gregory Paul]

ok going to try the next leg. Its a short hop about 105mn. VTPI to VTUN

 

[Gregory Paul]

Down safe at VTUN. That's two landings in a row without crashing!

 

[Gregory Paul]

Going to push my luck. VTUN to VTUD

 

[Gregory Paul]

Down safe at VTUD. I started my descent late.

 

[Gregory Paul]

Well it looks like I landed at the wrong airport! Looks like im about 55mn to the south of VTUD!

 

[PhantomTweak]

I try to make my flight plan stick me out about 10nmi off the airport, and on the runway heading. Since I don't fly high anyway, I just pop up to about 1200'AGL, cut the engines, hang out the speedbrake and start slowing hard. Soon as I can, I hang out flaps and gear. Usuall a couple mile off the end of the runway, then just grese it on in. Usually. Occaisionally, I overshoot, and make it an overhead recovery. I been flying Navy birds too much, I guess. I love the overhead...
Glad you're getting it locked in! Good luck on the rest of the flights!

Looks like im not very good at flying MIG's! lol Next leg VTUK to VTUD (I think)

 

[Gregory Paul]

Well down safe but not at VTUD! Im at VLVT looks like I went to far north by about 20mn. Im not flying to high (around 18,000ft) so I can see the ground and look for the airport. I guess I missed it with all the cloud over.

 

[Gregory Paul]

Looks like im going to have to go back to doing what I did with the first two legs. One problem is I need to get some sleep. I work nights and have not been to bed yet.

 

[Gregory Paul]

Im going to give this another go. (I've been playing Pokémon Go). Re-flying my lost leg of SEA in the MIG-21MF by Ivan Jureaga , with REXWX.
(VLVT) to (VTUD). Looks like I have to take off in rain.

 

[Gregory Paul]

Down safe at VTUD

 

[PhantomTweak]

I work nights and have not been to bed yet.

I worked nights most of my life. I am well familiar with the lack of sleep that it can cause. I finally came to the conclusion that sleep was more important than most things, and worked that way. It really helped a lot. Do what I HAD to do, nothing else. Days off were for the other stuff
Good luck! Looks like you're getting better and better at the MiG.
