Heh, last night I moved from blowing tyres to blowing flaps. I took out my ATR birdie for a ride and almost forgot how to fly it! On approach to
Gatwick, I just didn't check my actual speed and set the flaps another notch down. Still being at 170 kts I heard some strange noise. Wondered what it was for a while and then my co-pilot said that we have lost our flaps
Well, since I was too tired to declare emergency I just hit ctrl + c and confirmed I DO want to end 'da game'... Almost two hours flight through
turbulence and storms lost just because of my stupidity!!!
