Another set of screenshots from a flight in the PMDG 737 - this time a Britannia 737-800 from Newcastle to Manchester.
Waiting at the gate at Newcastle for today's flight to Manchester, on a miserable day in the north-east. Hopefully the weather will be better in Manchester.
Cold and dark cockpit.
Systems turned on, passengers on board, doors shut, ATC clearance and ready for pushback.
Pushback.
Engines started and taxying to runway 25.
Lined up on runway 25.
Takeoff
Climbing out of the clouds and into bright sunshine.
In the cruise.
Starting the descent into EGCC.
Descending over the countryside. ATC have cleared us for a visual approach and landing on runway 24L (which has no ILS). The weather isn't ideal, with some low cloud hanging around the airport, but we should be able to see the runway.
Runway lights in sight.
Finals, giving a view of parallel runway 24R (the runways at EGCC are staggered) and the airport.
View from the tower, showing the murky weather.
Landing.
Clearing runway as a Britannia 757 lands.
Waiting to cross 24R, being used for takeoffs.
Welcome to Manchester.
Being the thoughtful kind of guy that I am I didn't want to spoil the work of the people who paint the white lines by leaving rubber on them (the lines that is, not the people).
