Nice read!

I'm back at home for a few days and got a chance to hit up a Seminole FTD at the place I used to work (one of those fancy wrap-around visual kinds without motion). I did a lot of instrument instruction in Seminoles, but the shiny new jet I'm flying really ruined my scan on steam gauges. I didn't realize just how much that spiffy flight director and IVSI screw you when you go back to GA. My first ILS was crap, but by my second ILS I felt it starting to come back. Of course, there was still the issue of landing. Naturally at 50' I kicked out the crosswind correction and waited for the squeak. Of course, ERJs sit slightly higher than Seminoles so I ended up slamming sideloaded into the runway. Good thing it was an FTD.

And yes, I found it really hard not to respond to my friend's fake ATC instructions with "Jetlink." I really should stay away from small airplanes.
