Hi Roberto,
I know its not really a question but I wanted you to know this.
last weekend I had the opportunity to fly the A319/320/321 Level-D sim at brussels airport
Eventhough it was just for some minutes, I felt like a real pilot in control of the airbus.
I landed the airbus from 10 miles out to runway 25R (ILS) at EBBR pretty smooth but not 100% aligned
to the centerline. Probably this a routine for you but I found it (for myself) an accomplishment
and a prove that my time spent on the PC is not really a waste. The other person in the sim for example
had glider experience and here the "dual input" alarm was sounding several times, the pilot had to intervene
to get it back on track.
I certainly will continue my project and will try to do this again (hopefully a little longer) so I can see if I can
also perform some other approaches.
