In this clip from my ongoing MSFS 2020 journey, I was cruising towards Sitia, on the eastern edge of Crete 🇬🇷, when I realized the airport was almost right below me! With the sun glaring through the cockpit window 🌞, I quickly looked out, spotted the airfield, and began an urgent descent.

Flying the Cessna 152 without GPS or autopilot — just on ADF (Automatic Direction Finder) and heading — I had to rely on visual scanning to spot my destination. Full flaps, idle throttle, and a steep but steady drop brought me in for a surprisingly smooth landing right on the runway.

✈️ No drama, just a clean touchdown after an improvised descent — one of the nicest landings of the trip so far!

🛠️ My DIY cockpit features:
🎮 Saitek yoke & rudder pedals
📻 Dual radio panels & full nav/autopilot controls
🎚️ Two throttle quadrants & switch panel
🖥️ Two touchscreens running Air Manager
🌀 Two knobsters for smooth instrument control
🪚 All in a home-built setup made from scrap plywood and 3D printed parts!
