Alrot ~ Will give SVMI a try......nothing like a little excitement to make you flying memorable. Plus it's always fun to see new places! 8)

Great shot of the C-130 Budd! Nice flair, full flaps, 4 turning and burning (turbo-props smoke a lot).....way cool! Wink

One thing you captured in your screen shot are those different ILS landing lights at Male International.....I never did figure out what the ones running parallel to the runway are for. ???

ALROT ~ I gave SVMI a try...Maiquetia is beautiful and fun. Grin

Interesting landing on runway 8 with no ILS plus the touch down point is right between the buildings and the control tower!.....at least in FS9.... Fun! 8)

Hey, try VHHH in Hong Kong - Kai Tak...there is a great bridge to fly under.....even in a heavy! Straight out aprox. one mile from the end of runway 7L under your left wing....give it a go!

Difficult to do with this B-58, had the flaps down because I had to go so low and slow, so to no over shoot Grin

How about KORD? The amount of runways and airtraffic there makes instruments nearly a must.

Budd ~ Great screen shot...and the B-58 Hustler has always been one of my all time favoriate airplanes. Looks like you had enough room to make a clean pass, even if you did have to slow down a bit!! Wink

funkycowboy ~ Thanks for the tip.....Headed over to KORD and give it a shot, right now...will let you know the results. 8)

I see that a couple of people higher up this thread were using full flap when trying for minimum ground roll take offs.

Full flap = lots of drag = longer takeoff run.

Recommended flap for take off is almost always much less than full, with the possible exception of light aircraft with only one flap setting. Check documentation for each type to determine optimum take off flap setting.

If you want absolutely the maximum takeoff performance, then start your takeoff run with flaps up and select take-off flap just before lifting off. That way drag is minimised and acceleration maximised.

FWIW, I got out of LFLJ first time in the King Air solo with 10% fuel with a left turn to miss the trees (start from the very beginning of the runway and go down the right hand side, turning a little on the ground as you reach liftoff).

Managed to land from the tree end using an offset approach and lining up very late. Stopped about half way down the strip from an 80kt final approach speed.
