jotaedo Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 hi all! some of you have visited my exploring USA series of screenshots and I appreciate the visits and comments, however, I also own another ORBX areas and South America is the part of the globe that I call home so today and leaving a few shots about a flight near my home city airport, Santiago de Chile (SCEL/SCL) the flight is a short and turbulent hop from Mendoza (MDZ/SAME) (payware and freeware sceneries are available for both SCEL and SAME) about the flight, its shorter than 200 NM and its served daily by A319/320 (and formerly by 737-200) the flight plane is quite simple also, the SID is called UMKAL which is also the point where the sTAR begins and its also called UMKAL and guess what... the intersection where the SID meets the stars is called UMKAL the original name of the place (form many centuries ago is Uspallata, no idea of what does it means in aborigines language sorry) its also a steep flight in both up and downhill segment you need to climb to 240 or higher AFTER reaching the Andes and will talk later about the downhill phase After Takeoff shot after completing the SID turn and headed to the MDZ VOR, btw loved the blend of the ORBX Global+Vector+Open LC SA+the local scenery about to go vertical the VOR at FL270 leveled told you its a steeply descend phase so you better keep an eye on speed and another on speed brake charts? star 3 star 9 https://www.aipchile.gob.cl/dasa/aip_chile_con_contenido/aipmap/SCEL/SCEL%20STAR13.pdf view from my desk leaving the Andes Behind and now going deep into the clouds was a full IFR arrival, with a lot of work into the cockpit so no more screenshots apart of those here, the real world route demands the intensive use of the speed brake, I flew, sadly as a passenger, 2 weeks ago and sadly again by night... but I think this is how this should have looked like hope you enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 That was brilliant and I love how SID, STAR and intersection are all called UMKAL! I don't know if this exists anywhere else in the world. I love little trivia like this and great set of shots. By the way, how's the weather in Chile? Should be your winter now right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg thanks, try it someday, Mendoza doesn't have ATC very often on VATSIM, but the Chilean ACC provides service every week On 7/6/2018 at 7:00 PM, Jack Sawyer said: That was brilliant and I love how SID, STAR and intersection are all called UMKAL!
