I watched it last night. As others have said, it's absolutely fantastic and very enlightening to see things from this perspective. Also, it's very interesting to see the ruler flying all over the place, which gives some insight into the controller's thought process.
My favorite part is towards the end of the video, when you see all these 7600 squawks popping up in the last seconds... including me... and at the very end, when I'm about to ditch down just west of VNY, as my engines cut out due to... ahemmmm... empty fuel tanks(!)
... descending rapidly through 2k..... I panicked, pulled up too hard (rather than let her glide), stalled, and went down like a brick on Jupiter (and then to add insult to injury, St. Peter denied me entry into heaven, stating that it would be a more suitable punishment to send me back to earth and live with the shame of attemping a go-around when on final in VFR conditions with a NORDO situation... rather than simply landing).
Keith, I was going share my
hilarious attempt at trying to recovery from the nose dive after running out of fuel... but I just noticed that the "Horizontal Profile" portion of
any past flight is no longer showing up. Is something up with PEAware or has this feature been removed?
. Actually, I'm English myself (well... half English, half Virginian, and half Indian - but that's another story), and I haven't heard the word "pommie" in a long time. We used to make fun of you lot back in the day (then we'd bugger off and watch "Neighbors" and "Home and Away" and listen to Kylie, etc.).
