CyprusAirwaysA330 0 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Hi lads, its been a while since I last posted shots, due to being busy with stuff. Now it's the holidays I've got time to do some more flying, and here is the first flight I have done. A quick hop from Malta to Cyprus, followed by a slightly longer hop to Dubai. Leg 1: Malta Luqa (LMML) to Cyprus Larnaca (LCLK). Flight time: 2:15 hours. The flightplan, basically a straight line from Malta to Cyprus, passing Crete. At the remote gate at Luqa, there are no gates here. Pushing back. Back tracking down runway 14... ...Before blasting down runway 23. Airborne. Climbing steeply, initial climb rate was around 6000 feet/min. Banking for the 180 degree turn to head East. Turning out over the Med. The cockpit view as we climb. The weather radar as we climb. The pink is turbulence, the magenta shows severe turbulence. Cruising at Fl410, high above the clouds. Severe turbulence in those clouds, according to the radar. Seriously bad weather ahead, seat belts on. Steadily cruising above the sea. Getting dark now. Heading West into the Dark. Lights on in the cockpit, we have now passed the bad weather. Darker... Last look at the sun. Dark now as we pass over Crete. Sun has set now. Commencing the descent. Reached Cyprus, the city that we can see is Paphos, the alternate. Below 10,000, lights on. Touchdown! Slowing rapidly. Parked up, setting up the FMC for the 2nd leg and waiting for the pax to board. Leg 2: Cyprus Larnaca (LCLK) to U.A.E. Dubai (OMDB). Flight time: 2:40 hours. The flightplan for the second leg. Pushing back, ready to go again. Taxiing out. Accelerating. And airborne again. Climbing away. Doing another turn to head South East East. Climbing to Fl400, heading towards Lebanon. The office as we reach the TOC. Cruising over the Arabian Gulf. Descending towards Dubai. Spoilers up as we descend towards the approach fix, Dubai is in the background. Finals. My view, we are slightly high. Touchdown, welcome to Dubai. Slowing. And turned off the runway, lights off, flaps up, chrono off, APU on. Taxiing in, ignore the weather radar, it's set to Test mode as per the checklists. Turning into the gate, taxi light off to avoid blinding the ground marshallers. The might 777 parked up. Shut down, looking at the architecturally stunning terminal. Thanks for looking guys, hope you enjoyed them. Total Flight Time: 4:53 hours. Block time: 5:45 hours. Aircraft - Posky/PSS merge Scenery - Ground Environment Pro, FlyTampa Dubai, Freeware LMML and LCLK from Avsim. Miscellanious - FSBuild, ActiveSky, AISmooth, Snapper.
