Hi NT5224,
Commisserations for the plight of the plane, but congratulations to you and your wife. You did everything to get the two of you down as safely as possible. I have had three incidents in my 8x years - one, my mistake in which I chose a too short runway and ploughed through a fence, the other two were Alternator failures with loss of electronics including flaps, and comms. The first was embarrassing but my wife and I survived - and I learnt a lot, the other two I stuck to "Aviate, Navigate, Communicate" and did a perfect flapless landing on an airport with a decent length runway. As you now know - getting down safely is the goal.
I'm sure you will spend a lot of time going over what happened, but I hope the insurance payout allows you to get a new machine and get back in the air. If there is one thing I would respectfully suggest - it is get back in the air soon - with an instructor - to both practise engine failures, and to maintain confidence.
I wish you and your wife the best.

Hi, I already do some flying with a Garmin 1000 setup. I want to set up a flight simulator so that i can practise flying approaches to different airports in Australia.
I have used an old PC with Garmin 1000 sim - but I want a set up that has separate scenery. Given that it is 2018, what is the best computer(s), screen(s) setup for Australia. I am interested in getting a touchscreen for the avionics but I don't know whether it is worth the extra expense. Also, there appear to be varying opinions on software to use. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Frankus1aust, thanks for the advice re Xplane 11. I am interested in flying a Cirrus SR22 with a G1000 to practise instrument approaches. I am yet to find a decent Cirrus SR22 simulation. Any advice?
Thanks, Brett
