GARR 2011 PIREP leg 4


Recommended Posts

Well I couldn't find Elliot Island without the flt plan loaded from Dai's excellent shots I thought I would just be able to dial her up!

Obviously I am missing some serious scenery, I wonder if the gear will take it but I knew as the tail rose and with the fast approaching ridge ahead I would be up in no time :pilotic:

Lots of sea and not much else.

Having re-filled and asked ASE for RW weather I am much happier now!

Loads of runway compared with Lady Elliot so gently does it

Remember, right hand circuit/departure, I have to do a 180 to get back on course for YBHM

Not soon and we are back out to sea cutting across the bays.

Time stopped at 59:53 seconds, under an hour! :dance2: We had to use the whole length of the runway, the wind was (And is) gusting al over the place. St

I borrowed the 'dozer and some scenery from Flightsim.com. Andrew has the details here. Unfortunately, the file size, at 54 MB, is rather high, but it's excellent stuff - as you can see!

This was at Bundaberg - I think you were keen to get to the bar?!? :whis:

Cheers - Dai. :cool:

P.S. Still the same old shorts, though!! :thum:

Too busy looking at the scenery -- I'm way too high over Hamilton Island, so get ready for a Chop&Drop descent...

Fortunately, the TwinPin displays many of the characteristics of a rock when not under power!
