VH-KDK Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 A change from white knuckle flying around PNG sees a flight from around the other side of the world. A rather tatty looking Copa Airlines 738 will be flying from SBVM Barquisimeto to MDPC Punta Cana. 1. Awaiting ground services at Barquisimeto northern Venezuela. 2. Shock, horror. Done the flight plan and no ILS at Punta Cana. 3. Ready for push back. 4. On our way over the Urbanizacion Los Libertadores area of Barquisimeto. 5. Turning northwards over Yaritagua. 6. Leaving Venezuela over the sandy Paraguana Peninsula with the town of Coro visible. 7. Passing the island of Curacao, the last land for a while. 8. Well into our descent we make landfall at Isla Saona in the Dominican Republic. 9. Turning onto finals at Jina Jaragua. 10. A near perfect touch down on 09 at Punta Cana. 11. Disembarking at MDPC. The thrust reverser on the port engine opened when I was trying to shut the engines down and I could not close it. Hope you enjoyed the flight.

I had trouble with the port engine throughout the flight. I could not adjust the thrust via the yoke control and had to drag it via the vc. I left it on auto until touch down. I was trying to shut the engines down on the completion of the flight but deployed the reverser and could not shut that off either. I think maintenance it required!

LoL Voyager Thanks Voyager. Luckily I was on the ground but I did have problems before take off with the port thrust lever. Good job it is only FS. 21 hours ago, Stillwater said: You get around the world so fast, Martyn... you definetively need a full openLC! Thanks Gerold. It will be great when the whole world is covered by OLC, but what a monumental job that is. Anyway they are chipping away at it. 21 hours ago, RJ said: What a great trip Martyn! Loved the images!
