Stillwater Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Time to head back to Europe I think, with Germany North closing in... So we´re preparing to take flight UA46 from Houston to Frankfurt, with routing & weather prediction given here: This is the translation into PRO-ATC/X, I simplified the route to make use of some airways... Get her ready in time, please. Here we go, with the calm avoidance of tailstriking. Unfortunately I had clouds in the sim, preventing a last view to the airport... ... which should look like this: Later, passing Savannah on FL350, dinner is served... ... and the routined traveller leaves some space for the highlight afterwards! Reaching the northmost point of our journey, while the paxes rest... ... so they can´t enjoy the organic cockpit light. Good morning Atlantic. The exit of our ETOPS period is exactly in the middle between the green circles... ongoing from there Ireland is the alternate. Descending down the rhine valley... ... and into Frankfurt. VAS was borderline during landing, so I did not take the risk to change to outside view and document. At least it worked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernd1151 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Great shots, Gerold. When I saw the Baileys I never forget that a LH captain once advised me on a long haul flight that I had to put the Baileys into my coffee and never drink it as is. Which I did and still do today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanbatc Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Very cool. I like when posters add a map or route view - a lot of times I have no idea where people are. (And sometimes I'm too lazy to google LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And sometimes I'm too lazy to google LOL) You´re welcome. In this actual case I made use of the printed original map also, to have a better orientation during the long journey. I know that using google is really a hurdle sometimes, better relax & guess. Like in the good old times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the map you either need to have the right job, or ... talk, joke, find the right wavelenght, or sth like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
