Thanks SM for a really entertaining and challenging event
I didnt quite survive my landing in samos this time. Partly problems with the pilot, but partly due to the ERJ190 being unable to sustain balanced flight anytime one hits 220 or less knts, making the final turn rather imposible in terms of bank angle needed, and also touching down at 220 would be too fast.
So, well. I tried 2ice
Looking forward to the next-month Hardest Airport Challenge.
Best,
IH-COL

Thanks to everyone for flying today. Was a fun and challenging flight despite the long number of FG crashes at the beginning.
Looking forward to more
I too wasn't happy with my first landing after the joystick decided to not register any input and had to use the keyboard. But after restarting FG, it worked and I loved the second landing.

Did anyone get my terrible landing on film?! 
Good for a "how not to land at samos" tutorial
I flew the STAR and IAP exactly as it said in the chart, never had a better approach, and I crashed on landing due to the FG bug where everything you type goes into the chat box
Formated with wecsje and WTF411 for most of the latter part of the flight. Josh couldn't see me... apparently? Did you get good screenshots of us wecsje? I got some of us all, but I had low settings so it's no good for a splash.

Here's the 'airstrip' at Locher I was talking about in FG for those hardy enough to try. Best to take off at LIPB Bolzano and fly due North up the tiny steep valley..
