Doodle for next Trans Siberia PP Event leg

[EHM-2387 Eric-Jan]

I see that, besides my regular Brother in Flight David and myself, Mariano de Ascencao, James Hutchinson, Pedro Custódio, and Robert Szikszo are at PP location UNKL right now.
We would be very happy to see any of you (or anybody else who'd like to fly along) join us tomorrow at 2000Z for a flight to Irkutsk, and maybe even Mukhino after that. ...

Having some FS issues ... FSUIPC seems all gone suddenly
That means Flogger won't log. And that again, means it's just an F. !!
re-downloading / re-installing. Running a bit late ...
Take off without me if you feel like it; I will catch up

[EHM-2589 David]

I'm the only man until now, and I'm waiting for you E-j.

[EHM-2387 Eric-Jan]

I think I'm up and running now... near threshold rwy11 UNKL.
Don't see you, though, D. ...

[EHM-2387 Eric-Jan]

Ah, yes, there you are!

[EHM-2589 David]

This was my problem tonight

Incident Report:

the right tank developed a major fuel leak resulting in total fuel loss. The pilot was able to land the aircraft safely.

[EHM-2387 Eric-Jan]

 
No wonder you had to go around once! Not only was there the steep descend with almost no visibility, but also an imbalance in your fuel distribution.
Lucky you did not run out of fuel. Better get that repaired before that long leg ...

The 148 is a sturdy bird, treat her right and she'll do right by you.

[EHM-2589 David]

You're right men, but when you fly with FSpax... failures are a bit of a lottery.

Some impressions of our last leg:, UNKL-UIII:

The terrain off to our right is getting more mountainous.

Nice, close formation, but not too close (no TCAS going crazy, this time)

VOR-DME approach rwy30 UIII

David landing rwy 12 after his go-around rwy30

Parking at a snowy Irkutsks

David's "butterfly approach" rwy 12

Unfortunately, I arrived a touch late, and we had a 50 knots wind, straight on the nose, all the way to Irkutsk. That's why we did not fly the next, short, leg already. It was already 23:30 (LT) when signing off at UIII, and my alarm is set for 05:30 (LT), so the night was short enough already...

So next week, a short hop: UIII-UIUU 

[EHM-2589 David]

Ok. thanks for the nice shots and see you then 2000 zulu

[EHM-2387 Eric-Jan]

I'm ready! 

[EHM-2589 David]

I think the servers of IVAO doesn't work well tonight...

[EHM-2589 David]

Right now is ok. [IVAO-LD>[ALL]Hi All, some of the services are coming back online again. The hardware of an important server crashed. Thanks for your understanding]
