My one and only failure (so far) has been a failure of the gear to retract upon takeoff.

Since this was a VERY short hop (54NM), I decided to press onward to burn off the excess fuel (we took off at MTOW) and land at our destination. The
funny part was that we made it in on time, albeit with the fanfare of a light and sound show (of fire engines following us) as we landed.
I got the best score of my career because apparently I'd handled it correctly. The funny part was that this was my third flight with FSP. I've got
nearly 50 flights in now and am a C4 and have yet to have anything else happen (but I know it's lurking, so I'm always vigilant).
