    I've never played any X-Plane games and I only casually play MSFS 2020. But I've been watching Austin's videos for years. You can always hear his passion for any subject he's talking about, hence why I listen to him despite having no involvement in aviation myself. As a long time hardcore sim racer myself, I wish each of the major sim racing franchises had such a charismatic, heavily community interactive figurehead like Austin!

    Both at the airline and the Air Force we had to file an alternate for any single runway island airport. And in the case of Bermuda it is, as you say, back to the good ol' USA. Unless, that is, you can buy a surplus Navy aircraft carrier, and make that your alternate, anchored a few miles offshore. That way you wouldn't get the sass from the Air Boss. Also, now I understand where all of my XPlane dollars have been going!!

Being a CFII&ME long time instructor you might want to get my five star book: "Teaching Confidence in the Clouds". In fact if you send me your info I will send you a signed copy. I can't say enough about how X-Plane has advanced my admiration of what you have done with developing X-Plane to what it is today.

    The only dual engine failures I have ever had have been behind Pratt and Whitney engines. (I had a lot of engine failures as a manufacturer’s test pilot years ago) Also since Bermuda is a single runway I have never flown an aircraft to this airport without having enough fuel to go to an alternate. Disregarding weather, the flight in front of you can block the runway at anytime (like the genius in this video).
