"Hi all, I have done a couple of flights and here are my first impressions: - Gauges are VERY smooth and it is a real pleasure to handle the lady. - Fuel loadind: as usual - Engine start, no problem - INS: different from CIVA but not so much, I had doubts about alignment and this is probably not finalised, the INS works! I would suggest to keep an eye on it, mine jumped from 7-8 to 9-1. I could correct it without problem. - ILS: this is an area where I have questions/doubts. I did 2 perfect landings on the 23 LSGG and the smoothness of the manoeuvre was a real pleasure. But last night I could not land in EGPK, I was not catching the ILS at all. There was no wind, I tried both runways, same result. I'll have to try again to see if it is something I do wrong or? Overall impression is very positive but before you start on a long flight I would suggest to practice on a couple of short ones. It is work in progress and it is different from what we already know. It requires training. Have good flights Luc "

"The problem is me, not the ILS! The set up is slightly changed and I forgot to switch back from INS to radio mode... too much swiss fondue last night + what goes with it... sorry, Luc <!--emo&;)-->[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]<!--endemo-->"
