Eurochopper...

Was the exactly the same thing on our side of the pond. Air Canada didn't even bother coming to town and many airplanes went back where they came from with their tail between their wings after missing... I forgot to mention that the RVR was around 2000' and 100' of vertical vis on top of it all!

Only difference is that I was flying the older version of your new toy... the AS332L with the crappy analog coupler... which just couldn't keep up with it so I basically had to try to do what your digital one did so well... and I have to say that everything stayed within limits... felt like a roller coaster but with great results!

The guys in the 92 flew a similar approach as you did... cause they have all the new bells and whistles that modern technology as too offer too!

Wish I was flying a nice 225 too... javascript:smilie('')

Just another day flying in the North Atlantic!
