I thought I would find this easy after flying my flight sim at home, but even with it set at the most realistic it seems like child's play compared to this.
I have cut out quite a bit of the video as it was over 2 hours long, but have kept in what I consider the more interesting parts. I did consider cutting out my first take off which was an absolute embarrassment, but I decided to keep it in, if anything it shows that my subsequent take offs did improve as I got used to the rudder pedals, and also compared to my video I added from my flight sim, you can see how easy it seemed to keep it on the centreline.
My first flight was a short hop from my local airport Southampton/Eastleigh to Gatwick, then I did a take off at Innsbruck and circled back round to land, then a take off and landing at Kai Tak in Hong Kong, which no longer exists but it is a interesting final approach.
Then I return to Gatwick for a night landing in stormy weather and finally a recreation of the "Miracle on the Hudson" flight, only I was able to return back to LaGuardia, of course I had a very big advantage of knowing what to expect.
Thanks to my instructor/co pilot Paul for helping my experience go as nice as it could be.
