The time on the banner/image should had been 1800Z?
(It’s used in yesterdays Dev Update as well, showing 1900Z)

[SeedyL3205]

Hi @CoyoteDutch,

Good catch, thanks. The 1900Z time on the banner image is incorrect. The start time is 1800Z as listed in the OP of this thread.

Thanks,
MSFS Team

I was happy to be able to join a community flight again today! Amazing detail at SMZO, another great world update.

Parked at SMZO “Zorg en Hoop” after a great flight… Time to wash the dirty bird

[CriminalPilot]

Felt like taking a helico pteron out, the UH1 spoke to me. Beautiful weather and scenery!

Not sure this is going to go well…

Another great flight and watching the landings at Maj. Fernandes (SMNI)

Despite me not having the world update, it was still another great fly-in!

Moment you notice so much speed left and getting that low you maked it yourself so difficult mate. Always keep a eye on the point you land. If you dont see it you abort an choose the go around.
Aim the numbers and keep your speed at final 90kts runway this short full flaps for the Bonanza.

For more fun and increase skills practice on a airport you like the most and make some touch an go. Take some objects as ref point and notice every touch and go’s. You will be better and better every T&G and laughs later how easy it finally was

[kenniekayoz]

Thanks for the tips. My landings are usually a bit smoother but I was racing both the landing and having to go for dinner so I was willing to attempt it.
