New Zealand \"insane\" event

<< < (3/7) > >>

EHM-0948 Bruno:
ops ... noticed a small problem on the engines ...

They were at 103% :| ... but that was because i forgot to change to VNAV and was on manual altitude yet :| ...

It's solved now and N1 now shows 90% ;) ...

EHM-0948 Bruno:
ok ... we lost ATC now ... nice ...

33 airplanes flying at their own ... ;D ...

Well, also both CTR's are gone .. things are going nice now ...

After 20 mins we got a message from a CTR saying to all of us contact a freq that was nobody there ..

So, all of us are just having a good chat on UNICOM ;D ...

EHM-0948 Bruno:
Another curious situation ...

From all the guys flying, i am the only guy flying to MMTO! ...

Don't know why, looks like it can be the very hard precision between-the-mountais approach ?

Here goes the photo ... :

EHM-0948 Bruno:
Well, 00:25 here in portugal ...

Just passed the Tahiti islands ... very small islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean :| ...

Still have 3700nm to go .. about 7h+ still to fly ..

I am just got a portuguese guy from TAP that is not from Tap Virtual ... It's from Air France VA .. so, I am trying to convince him to come to our VA ;) ..

EHM-0948 Bruno:
wow, my first oceanic procedures ! :8

Was nice, but my FMC says it all (latitude, longitude, mach, FL, next waypoint, etc) !

So, i just had to say what my FMC says and .. that's all..

I also noticed guys that doesnt know what "Mach" is, or True airspeed or how to talk on Oceanic Procedures... Well, maybe it's something that we could motivate our pilots to do so here on ou VA ...
