Mission: 12Date: Mar 30 07Status:Complete
Required by:Mike Bell CYB617
Required at NZAA
Embarrassing but true.
I uninstalled re-installed FS Navigator.
Didn't realize my Registration not re-activated.
Had a nasty tailscrape on take-off.
Came around for a not so graceful emergency landing.
Need new tail and APU and stuff.
Mission: 11Date: Mar 26 07Status:Complete
Required by:Jim Crummy CYB2
Required at KLAX
comments: As I was pulling onto the taxoway
headed to the Gate an American Airlines 767-300
pulled out without looking and clipped the Right
wing off my aircraft (See Photo). With over 150
passengers aboard luckily there was no fire.
American Airlines towed my aircraft to their
maintenance Hangar at KLAX where it is now parked.
Fleet Support needs to pack a 848-400F up with
a new wing and bring it to KLAX to be installed
on this aircraft. American Airlines is paying
for this so spare "no expense" .
Mission: 9Date: Mar 14 07Status:Completed

B777 (PAX)
Nosewheel Collapse on landing at KLAX
Also Autopilot malfunction.
The autopilot missed the 9,000A call and then
the 3,000A ft call on the landing. It wasn't serious,
I disconnected the autopilot and brought it in by hand.
It was a relatively normal ILS landing on
Runway 24L, just as I was about to hit the
thrust reversers, the nose gear collapsed and
put the nose on the ground.
Mission: 8Date: Mar 03 07Status:Completed
Required by:Chris Schnaedelbach CYB4 CEO
2 of our old B742 need to be flown
from EDDM to CSW for converting them
to freighters.

Also the 4 new A380 (available at
the Cyber Air hangar as Freeware and
also textures for payware by Wilco)
should be flown from Hamburg Finkenwerder
to EDDM. More A380 will come in the next
weeks, to be delivered to EGLL and also
to US Hubs. We are the first launch customer,
who get the plane ;-)

Mission: 7Date: Mar 03 07Status:Completed
Required by:Rene Alder CYB2804 EDDM
I had to make an emergency landing
in Alaska (PAKN), where the PMDG 744
made a somewhat hard landing,
manually I may add. Why?
Engine 1 and 4 had gone out for no
apparent reason. This flight could be
brought to a relatively happy ending,
although a Jumbo with only 2 engines
feels like a rock in the air, pretty heavy,
mainly due to some 179.000 lbs of fuel left
upon hitting the runway.
Mission: 6Date: Mar 03 07Status:Completed
Required by:Rene Alder CYB2804 EDDM
Rene has had an
unfortunate flameout
on all 4 engines due to
fuel starvation.
He simply ran out of fuel.
He ditched his B744
in the sea near Tokyo Narita.
He was only a short distance
touchdown on the runway.
Our mission is to get down
to Narita and assist with
salvage operations.
It lies in 20 feet of water
at low tide.
Mission: 4Date: Feb 25 07Status:Completed

Chris Beck
CYB617 KDEN
CYB47 EDDM
Mike Bell and Chris Beck
were 2 of many Pilots who joined
the Munich - Praha Flyin.
Unfortunately there were several
server outages while we were on
the ground at EDDM.
As a result both our aircraft
were hit by other aircraft but
we were absolutely and totally
not to blame on this one.
The other airlines are going to
pay for all the damage but we need
parts from KCSW and lots of them.
The parts consignment is all
packed in cases and waiting for
loading and delivery to EDDM and
then the EDDM Fleet Support Base
can do the repairs.
Mission: 3Date: Feb 22 07Status:Completed
Required by:Mike BellCYB617 KDEN
Your Fleet Support Director
has slid off the end of Rwy
27 KCSW and I'm stuck in snow
and mud.
It was the FS9 unsynchronised
engines problem again.
Only E1 would throttle down
on landing so I went into FSUIPC
and reset those options to
correct the problem but too late now.
Damn it now we need to mess
around in the mud and put airbags
under the thing and ramp it out.
I hoped that CYB1 and CYB2
weren't lookin out the window LOL.
I thought maybe CYB4 and CYB6
could sneak over and give me a
hand to haul it out.
It's gonna be a big job cos I got
2 of those old MD's from EDDM inside it.
What an undignified ending for the MD's.
Mission: 2Date: Feb 18 2007Status: Completed
Required by:Frank EigenthalerCYB359 EDDM
We are replacing our five MD-83 by A319-100.
The A319-100 will be ready for delivery at Hamburg Finkenwerder.
Do you have the capacity to ferry the five birds over to Munich?
Probably you can also bring the five MD-83 to KCSW for some checks and repainting before they are sold to other airlines?
We are also replacing our two CRJ-100 by bigger CRJ-900,
Both have to be ferried from Montréal-Mirabel / Canada to Munich.
Maybe you find US pilots who use regular flights to get to Montréal, from there they fly the CRJ-900s to Munich.
We would then give them rides to Hamburg from where they bring in the Airbusses. And then they can ride home with the MD-83s.
There is a repaint of the IFDG A319-100 in our hangar
The MD-83 is to be found under "regional jets - class C",
