Fast flight question

Post by Panagiotis Zervoulias »

I was wondering if somebody could fly the Concorde from New York to Heathrow just like the old times! I only speak about Commanders and retro endorsed pilots. British Airways is an One World alliance member and it would be great if we could simulate the supersonic era.

OK Sergio. Thanks for your reply. Although you've covered me, I think I'll wait for a couple of positive replies and I guess that my next FREQ will be full of Concorde flights. Thank you once more buddy!

Yes you can positively fly the Concorde with a Retro Endorsement if you hold that rank of Sr. Capt or higher :). Positive about this :)

One million hours Sergio? :lol: Actually the SST is one of the few types I haven't flown... not sure why.

Yeah Bert. The point is that is it OK to fly with it? Would you have a problem if a KORD pilot submit a FREP flown with a Concorde? And I suggest you by the way to fly some legs with this great airliner! Yesterday a flew from EGLL to KJFK and I really was chasing the sun. I left London with no sun at all and I' ve landed at New York with the cabin and cockpit lights shut off!!! Try it and thanks for your reply.

I think it was Jaxan who did all the Concorde flying. It is perfectly within the rules to fly it so long as you are a Sr. Captain with a retro rating. I may give it a shot one of these days.

I love to fly the concorde. It's a complex aircraft that keeps you on your toes.

That's right Mike. I love especially the fuel transfer procedure and the way this bird flies. Very complex technology for today too I'd say.

Yeah it was not me. not sure but i've never flown it before either. I think back when I first got into simming I was wanting to try it. I downloaded a freeware and was not impressed. Haven't been interested since.
