Mark, In the above bit on the ILS you say: I will then slow down to VREF + 5 + headwind/2 (headwind divided by 2) Are you confusing 1/2 the gust? I don't adjust the V-REF unless it's gusting. Lou

I remember reading somewhere on the internet, a long time ago, that the approach speed should be as I stated I do it. I wrote it down so I would remember what to do, and it did not say VREF+5+1/2 the headwind speed if it is gusting. So if the headwind is, for example, 20 knots, I add 10 knots to the equation. :-[

I take it you fly like you did as a pilot, which means you only add the 1/2 the headwind speed if it's gusting? :-?

Great video Mark - thanks for sharing it buddy   :)

Thanks.

The swerving on the runway at the beginning of the video, was due to my trying to get FRAPS to start recording (sometimes it won't start recording no matter what I do) and I must have twisted the joystick grip (rudder) so it veered off the centre of the runway, and I had to correct it! :(
