Remember to use the check list and you must always look through the glass roof before lift-off. It will only take 50 specs to get to 50 metres, and it is only the thrust to remind you on how fast you are going, but it is when touching down it becomes a very heaving landing on your pocket. You must maintain Circuit height at all times, which is 20 metres. I will take the first test run, then I will let you take over. The other thing is that the tail rotor can whip you around in a circle, in certain wind conditions. This will only come with experience, but watch it on landings. ``Vanna: Zarfs. {Space Dock - Air Side ~ 2} ``Captain: Okay, call up on the radio! ``Vanna: Hopper to dock, over? ``Kirin: Dock to hopper, pass your message, over. ``Vanna: Hopper to dock, request joining instructions, over. ``Kirin: Dock to Hopper, permission granted, be aware of 15 knot gusts with north easterly wind.

Squawk 29425, over. ``Vanna: Hopper to dock, squawking, over. ``Kirin: Dock to hopper, we have you on SCADA, over. ``Captain: Very good, you have certainly flown before. ``Vanna: It was too costly to continue on Earth. ``Captain: Okay, ask them for permission to land. ``Vanna: Hopper to dock, over. ``Kirin: Dock to Hopper, over. ``Vanna: Hopper to dock, request permission to land, over. ``Kirin: Dock to Hopper, stand by --- permission granted on SP2 over. ``Vanna: Hopper to dock, descending to 10 metres, over. ``Captain: Now watch for those gusts, as they can whip you around and you need to face control tower at all times. ``Vanna: I see what you mean. Okay? ``Captain: Confirmed. ``Vanna: Hopper to dock, request touch down, over. ``Kirin: Dock to Hopper clear to land, over. ``Vanna: Touching down; down. ``Captain: Remember the shut down sequence and it will then sink onto the ground. ``Vanna: Hopper to dock, request recharge, over. ``Dock to hopper, confirmed. ``Vanna I need a coffee. ``Captain: So do I. After you have booked in and paid your ¢20 landing fee. {Space Dock Restaurant + Captain + Vanna ~ 3} ``Kara: Hi, what is your choice? ``Vanna: Croak beans and rock cakes. ``Kara: Zaa. ``Captain: That was good. I will let you take her home. ``Vanna: Wonderful. ``Kara: Food. ``Captain: I will give you a reserve frequency of 2447.75.
