Welcome - First Post from Flaps 2 Approach

This is the first post on Flaps 2 Approach

This website will document the building of a working Boeing 737 simulator.  This is an exciting multifaceted project that will take considerable time to complete.  I'll have to learn skills in a number of fields that, and brush up on old skills not used for sometime.  I expect I'll be phoning knowledgeable friends and asking LOTS of questions....

Also I am not a website designer or developer, so I have a lot to learn in this area as well.

The website, in addition to documenting the progress of the build, will also act as a conduit to:

  • Discuss aviation-minding subjected pertinent to the Boeing 737;

  • Discuss operational and other flight procedures used in the 737 aircraft; and,

  • Provide reviews on hardware and software pertinent to flight simulation (in particular to the 737 aircraft).

Website Name

I thought carefully about a name for the website.  Initially the usual names came to mind - 'My 737 Site' and similar.  I wanted something distinctly aviation and something that related to all aircraft.  Flaps to approach seemed the logical choice as nearly every aircraft has to set flaps to approach.  I used the numeral 2 instead of the word to enable the name to be more easily entered into a browser, and also to differentiate between setting the 'flaps to approach' and the website name.

So let's get the ball rolling..... 

- Chocks Away - or should it be 'Prepare For Landing - Flaps 2 Approach'
