Oooh wait, you can't use spoilers and flaps at the same time, Roberto. You may use spoilers to slow the aicraft down only if the flaps are up.

The planes really don't seem to be following RVSM (Reduced Vertical Serperation Minima) of 1000. The ATC's fault of course-so probably not flown online. And spoilers should not be up until the weels have touched the runway. Only then can you have flaps and spoilers at the same time.

With Just flights traffic many times 78-80% is about as high as is realisitic, any higher, and ATC doesn't handle it well, they don't have the logic to space and control that many flights effeicently...

ai smooth does wonders... especially when they taxi off the runway... helps in reducing go arounds...

Oh, I had no idea I was offending anyone. I just thought I'd point it out. I personally see nothing wrong with it considering that we're having a discussion on this picture.

David said the same thing, but its ok Steve, you can still, put the blame on me. wink
