Auckland to Wellington - Flightbeam Airports

Hi folks,

just yesterday I was able to complete my first complete IFR flight with the FBW A32NX.

I am generally a GA back country guy, so this was really new for me and I had tons to learn.

The flight time was only an hour but the whole thing took me almost 3hours with reading and understanding the FBW Website and learning as I was going.

Anyways, I purchased both Airports from Flightbeam (They look stunning) and the ORBX NZ mesh and startet her up.

I had a marvelous time and a wonderful rewarding feeling when I set her down very gently using the airplane‘s auto-land feature.

I had tons of fun and for sure this was not my last flight.

See you in the skies!

Here are some impressions:

Lovely shots of some very lovely scenery! Flightbeam is top of the heap for me, nobody does it better.

Yeah, it’s awesome. I also flew on my 9 hour flight from Jakarta to Auckland yesterday on the A330-900neo, and I had a smooth landing on time, my PACX stats were satisfied at 100% and parking at NZAA was something that I enjoyed very much because the VDGS was working flawlessly.
