Following weather conditions we're setting up for the ILS RW05 approach
[attachment=5782]
Quite some thick clouds around that cast shadow

With the runway in sight I went on manual to battle the winds averaging 110/25G35...
Quite a workout, the flight dynamics in X-Plane give for quite a pleasant experience ... you much more feel the aircraft floating in the air than is the case in FSX, a lovely experience I must say.
Finally we managed to get the sinkrate back in shape and had plenty room to spare on the rather long runway.

Just a rainy day at Pago Pago... again the thickness of clouds casting dark shadows
