"Hi guys, here are a few of my screenshots of my first flight for Globe Cargo, Charleston AFB to Ramstein AFB. I've been to Ramstein last August to take some pictures of the aircraft there. There are a few of them too. Enjoy, Traffic before take off

Turning for final
On short final
Almost the same but then for real, Evergreen International
Actually I stood to close to the runway to get nice pictures
He the name of the aircraft is the same as the departure airfield

"Thanks guys, @ Ross, that's because I plan the flight in FSNav and then load it in the FMC. I forgot to check the VREF and don't know exectly how to program that. Still in the learning process

"Hey Peter, Thats cool :@ I dont understand the 'realms' of FSNav, one program i should seriously try and think about. As for the VREF, if you go to the INIT REF page at the Top of Descent (or once in the descent) you will be shown the Approach page. Select either the 25 or 30 degree flaps and the appropriate reference approach speed, enter the selected reference into the FLAP/SPD blank area! Once this is done, as you slow on the approach, there will be indications telling you when to lower the flaps
(This should prevent the need to use the sppedbrakes in air, and it should prevent the 'flap relief' message being shown on the EICAS) This also gives you the safety approach speed in which you can enter into the MCP for your approach. Hope this helps! Ross S"

"Thanks Ross, it sure helps. Will try it immediatly next time
and for the FSNav, I use it always, only I'm not sure about the SID's and STARS. Have to look a little bit deeper into the charts to choose the right sid and star"
