Stillwater Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 When taking off from Greymouth we encountered some cloudy conditions. At least the forests around Runanga were clearly visible, ... ... as well as the Punakaiki Rocks below. But turning inland made the situation a bit more tricky... ... with only limited space between the cloud layer and the "scientific mountains". Look at these names: Ramsay, Dewar, Priestley, Curie, Mendel, Pasteur, Einstein, Rutherford and Euclid. Quite the educational trip if you type these names in wikipedia. And quite the uncomfortable trip if you continue in VFR. At least we discover Buller River, ... ... Murchison, ... ... and finally a window opened towards Tasman Bay. A great scenery, ... ... at the Moutere region... ... and downwind into... ... Motueka. The proof. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 A very witty and educational flight (for science!) Gerold Definitely looks like some low cloud cover made that flight a little more interesting over that nice terrain. Enjoyed the screenshots!

Always a challenge flying with these low hanging clouds - sure one can go higher, but you won´t see the beautiful scenery then ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
