Cpt a facut un visual approach in conditii nu tocmai de visual. Initial aveam frecventa de ILS si pe NAV1 si pe NAV2. Dupa ce a inceput sa coboare sub panta si am fost avertizati "GLIDE SLOPE" am schimbat frecventele a.i. am scapat de avertizarea sonora dar am pierdut informatia de panta si directie. A confundat pista de 2 ori cu alte repere de pe sol si a tipat GPWS, hard warning, "TERRAIN, TERRAIN, PULL UP". Aveam solul la vedere ceea ce ne-a dat dreptul sa ignoram avertismentul. Am zburat constant la 1000ft ~30 sec dupa care am vazut pista, destul de aproape, undeva la ora 11. N-a fost cazul sa ratam desi e discutabil daca eram in IMC sau VMC si daca eram stabilizati sau nu.
A fost o apropiere nu tocmai standard dar interesanta.

A nice flight overall with light to moderate turbulence during cruise. Some discussions regarding: one engine take-off climb gradient, engine out procedure in case of "no note!", supp procedure for turbulence and a little math problem "6 1 3 4 = 24" :)

I chose to fly the first leg, LRBS-LFOB, because I wanted to practice on landing in windy conditions since the TAF was:
 TAF LFOB 041100Z 0412/0512 18020KT 9999 BKN009
          BECMG 0412/0415 24015KT BKN020
          TEMPO 0412/0416 20025G40KT PROB30
          TEMPO 0415/0512 4000 SHRA BKN014TCU

But by the time we arrived the windy conditions were almost gone so I landed in normal conditions.

This A/C still has some problems with the LE FLAPS, they deploy uncommanded if the hydraulic pumps are off and the radar is useless!

During cruise, somewhere above Croatia we saw an UFO(Unidentifed Flying Object), above us(FL340). It looked like a rocket, with a blue fire, small and fast flying. We reported to radar and they said that there was no military activity around.
