Excuse me but what is this with "Watch the Dot"

In my experiance of flight simming with Noble Air I have in one way or another had contact or flown with other said pilots.

What worries me is that surely if some of our more renowned pilots keep watching the Dot who's watching those dam mountains.

Me thinks the dot could be a concern for a rise in un chartered granit landings.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


mind you this is just a thought....

You have 2 flight crew...

During the take-off roll... Captain looks out the window and relies on First Officer to call speeds and V1, V2, Rotate..

After rotate.. Captain "watches the dot" during the climb and departure and First Officer looks for goats in clouds..

of course.. a little Terrain Radar does help a bit..

Also stay above MSA at all times to avoid goats in cloud. MSA's are published on IFR charts for all authorised airways. Programs such as PFPX take this into account when generating routes. Together with Stars and SIDS should never be a problem.

After submitting a paint request to one of our esteemed in house painters (Mark!).. I received back a World Flight paint scheme.. (thankyou Mark!). It was then submitted to Boeing, who have produced this rendered drawing of the completed paint for the aircraft.

Image

Boeing assures me that that can have the aircraft refurbished and painted by 28th October, just in time to return the aircraft to Sydney to start Worldflight on the 1st November.

So starting today...
I will be transporting VH-NWF (Noble Boeing 738) to Boeing Field (Seattle) so it can be prepared and painted in time.

I am very glad that I could do it!!!

Can you by chance have them put some extra fuel tanks in it for the flight that is very near to the range of it? :D
