Scuddy-25, at present there is no sound on my computer to hear whatever may be happening in that regard. I'm guessing you have dirtied up well in advance to be stable at Optimum AoA etc. (AoA Indexer is colourless on my screen until near the end.)

When you are at about 3/4 NM or closer it is best to transition to using the mirror/IFLOLS if you can see it rather than continue with the 'needles'. Up to you and what you see. However by 1/4 NM you should be able to see the mirror well enough to use it.

To me it appears you continue using the 'needles' to touchdown with a very low ball at the end. Would be interested to hear if you intended that and if you see that now when relooking at the video. For sure you were nice and steady though.  ;D

Hey :)

OK I followed the ILS in to the carrier all the way and at 3/4 to 1/4 NM I continued as that is what I thought you had to do.
if you say that I should read the IFLOLS at that stage I will as i have not got proper training only what people have told me.
thanks for your advice mate really helps.
you might want to try to calibrate your screen as that might be the problem if you are not seeing the correct colours.
