Hello, today during my take-off at KLSC the gear don't retract. After trying to put the gear up some times, i've entered the visual pattern and landed in the same runway, not proceeding to KPIH as the original flight plan.

The Pirep was acidentally sent to Delta Virtual (I was intending to do the flight again from start).

So I have now a logbook wich "0.1" flow and a landing not in destiny. How I proceed? Probally this logbook will not be approved right? I don't like the idea of a not approved pirep in my logbook... anyone can help please?

Bruno,
Correct, we won't approve a flight that does not get off the ground, so to speak. I held the flight and we'll see about getting it whacked for you. As for how to proceed, next time just file a helpdesk issue on it or email me. The helpdesk route is the preferred way to go though.

Regards

btw, were you running FSPax or FS2004 failures or something? We haven't experienced any issues with the EMB-120 with gear failures...

Thanks George!

Sorry, i'll use helpdesk next time.

I'm using Fspassengers, co-pilot has announciated the gear problem. Originally I have the intent of delete the pirep and begin the flight again. But i've clicked "file pirep" by accident.

Well, thanks again

Yeah, I hate FSPax for that reason - I hear you can turn that feature off though... one less distraction for me, personally. No worries on the cooler post versus the helpdesk - it worked, and that is all that matters smile

You can disable failures Lewis.
In my fspassenger is set "3% of chances to have a faliure" in "easy to hard faliures" classification.

I love fspassengers, put a little more worries on the flight, you can't turn that fast... you can't exceed bank angles... you need land smothly... For me it's the best way to see how i'm flying, since i can't sens G forces in my chair when flying at home, on flight simulator lol.

True... anything to help keep you flying right is a good thing - you should check out the Flight Academy - live flight instructors teaching you how it is done

Shift+Z shows the FPS and G, Shift+G lower gear manually.

I'm a real private pilot Lewis, that's why I like fspassengers, when flying in the simulator you can't feel the flight, but your passengers..... it's another history lol.

Bruno,
Yeah, some people love FSPax, some don't... I know what you mean though... btw, the Flight Academy would be a breeze if you have real world experience - but that's up to you. They use the EMB-120 in there too smile

It's not a matter of being difficult or not. But wasting time and resource with me when you can put the instructors to teach who real needs don't apper to be right.

I'm interested in comercial pilot program, cozz some of our IFR rules are different here in Brazil (most of all are just a copy from FAA, but we have some differences. And approach charts show the same information but in different ways, i'm also not familiarized witch jeppesen charts) and besides, i'm not comercial pilot yet. But unfortunally I can't "jump" private pilot program, and learn again about vmc, lift, basic controls, basic manouvers, basic procedures, vfr flight.... it's a little boring lol biggrin

I'm considering the flight academy, but for now... not interested in private pilot program
