After 1h 2min in the air, I armed VNAV and began the descent into san diego, I had aligned the aircraft absolutely well during this flight and maintained fairly good descent and speed control, despite the late landing on runway 27.

Following the rather smooth landing, we exited via the end of the runway and began a short taxi to terminal 1 gate 14 where we parked and the jetbridges were attached. This marks the end of my first new years flight on infinite flight, it’s a milestone.

Once again, happy new year to all. This is my first topic so I hope you guys enjoyed it.

Nice shots! …But why were you cruising at M.81 💀

umm, is that too fast? I’m a new pilot so I’m not too familiar, I thought it’s fine as long as I don’t trigger the overspeed alarm(which I did several times) 😅

Yeah that’s a bit fast… A220/A320/B737/E175 family aircraft usually cruise around M.78 for efficiency.

Happy New Year and nice photos! Flying into SAN is always awesome. My first flight of the new year was DFW-LGA at an event with @Oklahoma1 @kadengg @adam_2tuff and others

Uh @randompilot328, if you’re gonna be posting shots among your first New Years Flight, that would go in the Screenshots and Videos category where no huds, interfaces, displays, etc, is allowed. But nice photos
