- Afternoon landing and scenic approach over a Aasiaat harbour to Aasiaat Airport, RWY11 with de Havilland Canada DHC7, new Pilot's masterpiece.
It was rather windy approach, wind was 14kts from 360 direction, tempo on ground was -4C.
I was not convinced I like this aircraft, but after realising it's not small version of ATR and making few flights (and few errors as a matter of fact) it grew on me and I got to say, I love it!

Hope you'll enjoy and clear skies!
Legend has it that the aircraft marshaller is still out there - holding his crossed sticks - through rain, sleet and snow!!
Maybe the guy got a raise or he's the only person in the world who enjoys his work 😂
Nicely done video. The lighting of the scenery is perfect and captures the atmosphere of such a cold, bleak place. I used to like the ATR 72 when I played this sim, do they still have one in this version?
Hello
Thank you for comment. Yes, after recent update Greenland really look magnificent.
Yes, there's ATR in the sim, both ATR 42 and 72 both -600 versions. They were made with cooperation with ATR itself so it's a good simulation there.
The ATR aircraft is not entirely suitable for Greenlanding runways, I tried already :)
Great video! Do you know how to set the vertical speed with the AP? I couldn't figure it out! Thank you.
Thank you :)
There's a wheel for v/s to te side from AP and YD buttons. Use ths one.
I personally set the altitude, hit alt arm and than trim aircraft and when I get v/s I wnt than I hit v/s button on the autopilot panel.
@@pandamisha Thank you!
Now I know exactly, I used it. So, it'[s actually quite easy. You have to set your altitude, click ALT ARM and having V/S mode ON use the wheel below A/P & Y/D switch. You will notice immediately aircraft reacting. If you won't have V/S ON, than the aircraft will not react.
Safe landings!
@@pandamisha Once you told me where to find the dial, I kinda figured that the VS button had to be turned on for it to work! Thank you for your help. It is kind of frustrating without a manual. Now If I could only get the autopilot to follow a GPS course, I would be happy!
Thank you!
Above altilute indicatior, below clock, see the green NAV or GPS? It is a puch button. NAV, emans aircraft is receiving ILS/VOR signals and can do ILS landing, GPS will follow the course. You can change this mode via GNS350 as well. When NAV is illuminated, aircraft will not follow flight plan, press it and turn it to GPS mode, than hit NAV button on autopilot panel (immediately to the right from HDG button) and the aircraft will follow the flight plan - kind of do LNAV.
