I just thought I would add a new posting to the English Form I am new to TAME but not new to the virtual skies of Ecuador. In using flight simulator to learn about aviation I made a random decision to fly to Cuenca with my 727 and made a perfect landing. The next day I filled up the tanks and payload and started rolling down the runway on a return trip. I could not get the plane to lift off from the runway and of course it was due to the altitude which reduced the aircrafts performance...'I learned about flying from that'. I began to use the performance data and fly with charts learning all the SID and STAR for the Ecuador aiports. I found Ecuador to have the most variety of challenges in the smallest of areas with high altitude airports including over water flights to the Galapagos. It is in the virtual skies of Ecuador I learned to fly.
As I like to fly the 'old' birds the 737-200 and 727-200 I will be adding some history to the pages of the form and will post a picture from time to time.
See below my first flight for TAME..a night departure from Quito to Cuenca.
Happy New Year to all at TAME
