Hi Geoff,

Which shows that there are pilots and pilots ;-) I get desperately bored on flights which last for more than one hour, especially this time of the year when there is nothing to be seen but clouds, and it is dark half of the time ... Recently I had a day when we had to do 8 hours and 20 minutes block time (luckily distributed over three legs) and after that I seriously considered handing in my resignation. So for me, an approach and landing which takes longer than three minutes (as in "2001") will not see me awake at the end.

Happy landings
Max
