This time i am going to practice all four engines flame out(i shut them down) at above 30,000ft and a emergency landing, have you ever tried it? Wink Its hard, sure you can land after all engines flame out right after takeoff sometimes, but what about from cruise altitude?

I picked up this POSKY plane today and its cool!

Aircraft: POSKY Virgin Atlantic

I put(drag) this plane to this position on the map:

all engines went out(i shut them down)

i looked there was a airport near by but that was 6500ft rwy

i searched and found another airport had 10,000ft runway!
I saw it was 40miles away, good distance for me to glide to Very Happy



i may have to do some circles to line up Fear



do da first circle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



the spoilers are strong, good if u are coming high and fast!

the gear won't go down at fast speed, i had 2 slow down 2 get gear down

^based on what it looks here, iam good for landing

I touched down at a speed way over 200kts

ssooooooooooooooooooo proud of myself Cheers! Group Wave

similar incident in real life:

COMMENTS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have reached our cruising altitude,I am going to switch the seat belt sign off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land ... it's a bit cold outside, and if you walk on the wings it affects the flight pattern.

I once didn't do too good, on the 737-700 one engine went out while i was outside, when i came back, i realized one engine was out, so i tried to do the landing, seeing that i came to steep and was going fast, i tried to go-around(because i thought with one engine i could do it), but stalled, I recovered from the stall and tried to land on the grass next to the airport, I touched down soft but it said crash, 69 killed Sad !
