all fly by wire I guess
Correct, no more control column, only a little sidestick. ^ The aircraft is flown through a number of computers, pretty much like a computer game. (!!) This obviously makes the whole operation very efficient, and with all the safety bells and whistles also a very safe operation.

In spite of all this nice technology I still have the desire to really fly an aircraft, and therefore ventured into the "dark" :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: side of aviation, and started to fly trikes, to get involved in aviation at "grass root levels" (not altitude wise).
And yes, the conversion was very interesting (**) (**) (**)
And the friendly dolly at the CAA could not understand #-0 why I would want to fly trikes. I tried to explain, but she could not understand. When I left the CAA she was still shaking her head in disbelief. ## ## ##

Hello Arnulf!!

Flying with us from Springs is Captain Dale from British Airways. When anybody asks him why he flies microlights,he just says, during the week I operate an aircraft from point A to B like a bus. On weekends I really fly.. :wink: :wink:

Freedom Flight by Alan Honeyborne and Ricki De Agrela
Joystick for Flight Sim
Pedals for Flight Sim
Many Accident Reconstruction Books!
