Hi friends:

Hurricane Delta is category 4 approaching Yucatan peninsula e.g. MMUN:



Time to fly out tourists:



The landing could be bumpy:



An arrival:



But it was very hard: +3,35 G

Hi friends:

For the Tu-154M the landing was also bumpy:



as seen on the AoA/G-meter:

Hi friends:

Finally some pics of landing a Yak-40 at MMIM Isla mujeres.
This airport would be ideal for flying to it with a Yak-40:
A short runway (1057 m), no services, wonderful resort, no airlines flying to it.:



Fs 9 gives an acceptable impression of the island:



We are already on a long final:



Everthing is fine



Already flaring:





Smoothly touching down:



Despite having only on engine 2 a reverser, the bird decelerates nicly:



And it breaks very efficiently:



and we stop with lots of runway to spare:



Welcome to ISLA MUJERES!



Isla Mujeres has a VOR 115.0 only in FS, in real no VOR, the terminal and the control-tower are closed, PEMEX is selling nothing anymore there. But with 1500 kg of fuel we will reach easily MMUN, there PEMEX will sell us their JETSINA (JET A-1).

Kind regards

Hi friends:

Found a way to tinker with Igor Suprunovs masterpiece:
Existed a Yak-40 "Export" with Collins avionics:



"Flying from MMUN to MMMX through "thunderstorms in formation":



Slipped through!



My version has some inconviniences: The AP cannot be coupled to the Nav, GPS, ILS information of the FD.

Kind regards

Very nice images of the Yak 40\42 Walter. Interesting to see the Collins Avionics.

Hi Hermann:

The Collins ADI and HSI are "borrowed" from the Kingair 350 stock FS9.

Hi friends:

Coming back to the small triholer YAK-40:

After seeing some videos eg.:

upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/51/Yakovlev_Yak-40_HA-LRA_cockpit.jpg

As the military sometimes gets better equipped airplanes as "civilians".

I tried to bring in an ADI and a more advanced HSI:



But nevertheless the Suprunov simulation is still a masterpiece and his original panel was the panel of many Yak-s flying around:

Hi friends:

Shame on me!

I wrote about the Yak-42:

The FD bars are only visible with AP engaged, but not while hand flying the ILS

But the cure is so easy: Read the manual carefully! As on the last page of the manual it is stated:

Flying on AP touch once backspace and you control the airplane via the control wheel with all the FD information selected still available!

Kind regards

Walter
