American Airlines Virtual

WX wasn't bad when I left Philly (KPHL) for Roanoke, VA (KROA).

Some pretty clouds to fly around enroute.

Then it became an almost solid overcast under me but still a few holes. Yes, there are hard things in clouds.

The wx forecast was showing overcast to the deck, so I was prepared to go around. Fortunately, I broke out about 400 ft AGL

It was a few very long seconds until I saw the runway (upper left).

When I saw the runway I noticed I had been the victim of yet another runway heading variance between FSX (or FSX based sims like P3Dv4 which I am flying) and the current charts. FSX had the course as 70 degrees; current charts had been corrected to 72. Check that next time!!!!

Still, it was fun coming down through the white-out.

Next flight KROA to KLGA. Departure was uneventful but found myself over a patchy overcast when I got to altitude.

Later, I flew out of the overcast below me.

But, had to descend through overcast into the ILS 22 approach to LGA with the guidance of a friendly Vatsim NYC Approach controller. Broke out and had the PAPIs for 22 at approx 2400 ft. Piece of cake after that.

Fun flights and nice pictures.
