HI Simbot and welcome.

 

Yes gliding would be good, just no go-around option...

 

 

[Simbot]

It would be a bit like playing golf I'd think, just lob it onto the grass?

I Think it'd be a little different, with golf you go whack, "Damn!" bit with gliding you'd go "Damn!" Whack!

Ha ha yes, very true.

Ha ha yes, very true.

Bloody weird I know, but I've had a horrible recurring nightmare about running out of runway on landing. . . .had this for forty nine plus years of aviating. . . although never actually did it (Yet ) Still,. .. it helps with the final checks I guess. . .!

[Simbot]

Is that why you call yourself nightmare?

 

Let's just hope dreams are just dreams. In my flying dreams I can never lose altitude no matter how hard I try.

 

I see you are up north. How is the flying up there?

It's a long story why I call myself Nightmare. It's actually to do with my name, not how I behave.... It became my nickname at work.... It's not a bad nickname, it could be worse...

 

We've had a lot of bad weather for flying lately, but It's improving.
