ddavid 149 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Welcome to the Mutley's Hangar Team entry to the Great Australian Air Rally 2011! Our first Leg is from Coolangatta (YBCG) to Chinchilla (YCCA) - here's a flight plan from Tim's Plan-G: The Team has got everything ready and here we are ready for take off: Cleaning her up, with a nice view of the tower at Gold Coast Airport: Turning north towards the first NDB at Bromelton (374 KHz): View towards Brisbane to starboard: Over Dalby airport - the 3rd Waypoint: Starting to descend: Downwind leg at Chinchilla: ... and the base turn: A bit shaky on short final approach (!): And we're safe and sound at Chinchilla: One down and nine to go! And here's the result: Flight Time GAAR Leg 1 = 75.79 minutes Over to you, Boss! Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites

stu7708 244 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Great shots Dai.. Too bad I'm swamped at work and at home right now, had that not been the case I would have joined in on this... As it is I havn't logged a single FS minute since new years :001_th_smiles48: Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 995 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Just completed leg 1, with a time of 85.81 minutes. That's 2.21 minutes short of my target time. This compares with Dai's time of 75.79, being 2.18 minutes over your target time. Which puts you ahead by 0.03 minutes! :001_th_smiles48: Sassenfrassenrassen..... Have to go out now, but pics later Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Sassenfrassenrassen ..... Hey! that's my catchphrase! Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Well done Tim - did you have difficulty spotting the runway?!? Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 995 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 No trouble at all. From Dalby, it was pretty much a matter of following the A2 highway, until the lakes in the river become obfious. The Airport is roughly midpoint between the lakes and the highway. Of course, it's rained a bit since you landed... Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 995 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Rather late in the day, but I'm finally catching up with my pictures... Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Nice pics, Tim - BTW, why did you choose the SA Twin Pioneer? Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 995 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 It's British, and it has a VC. Actually, the plane I wanted to take was the Bristol Freighter, but the only version I could find just had a 2D cockpit, and when your screen is >5000 pixels wide, a 2D panel is simply not a viable option.
