Guest Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 So, Today, RAF col and I had a couple of flights in the morning, did some teaching in the afternoon and then flew again for a 'sunset' flight. We landed 3 mins inside of the legal max (half hour after sunset) It was dark, and the stars were starting to come out, I question the half hour after sunset thing and it's safety for us Paramotor pilots. But that said, we had an awesome hour long flight over a famous persons house it took us ages to get back due to high (but smooth) wind. That's going in my top 3 flights of the year that one A mini adventure was jut had SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spigot Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Oh Yes...Awesome it was But you failed to mention it was also F**king cold, I'm still shivering! And also big thanks to Mrs W, not only for the homing beacon. But for also mentioning my landing was considerably better than yours I will take her word for it, cos I didn't see either Colin B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 What does she know!!! She has only seen about 10,000 landings. Well done, A first and a Last SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Personaly i think The 30min rule should be a judgement call on the pilot if it is gieeting to dark then you should land even if your 5 min from home.. But being that far from home and being able to see the landing field would make me push on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
