Superb stuff, this really brings it all back Pete. Any particular reason for choosing Alaska?

On the first link the kick off drift series is showing the A/C well to the right of the C/L - or it appears to be in these pics.

I find this interesting as I have just been involved with building a 737 Sim (800NG layout in the scrap flight deck of this written off 3/400 freighter). One of the problems we had was correctly lining up the visual with FS2004 ILS. The A/C would be on the ILS, but about halfway between the C/L and left hand edge of the runway visually. We eventually had to use a fiddle factor to the co-ords of the threshold to offset the visual on each R/W we wanted to use.


Back to the Trident...

pedant mode on....

I note in the second link in this last post the pics show the thrust gauges set at 137,137,137. IIRCC the centre was 20 less ie 117 on a normal day. (I think the T1 was 10 less and the T2 15 (?))
