I\'m still flying!!
EHM-0948 Bruno:
Hi Christian,
Normally we try to unsuspend you as soon as possible.
Another thing, I just made the flight from Entebbe to Mbarara and I strongly suggest:
1. Take 20% fuel.
2. On the direct path (via GPS), you will approach via the runway 29. On the final leg you have a small mountain there. So, on the approach, don't descend (until you see the runway) bellow 6500ft !
3. Pass over th runway, and do the approach turning right to the runway 11.
I almost crashed against that small mountain because i was 5800ft and I was with low visibility.
Regards,

Just missed one day yesterday and realised that there is almost no slack in this event at all :( I now have to make a flight a day until the 22nd November and there has to be 24hrs between flights on Pro-Pilot ... surely this, with take-off time makes the turn arounds impossible. It's 6.30pm now... so, say I put in a one hour flight... tomorrows can't go before 7.30pm and therefore by the time I come towards the end of the event I won't be able to meet the 24hr rule and make the flights.
Apart from anything, the likelihood of me managing to free an evening for flight every day for 2 wks is slim. Very concerned I (and I guess others like me) may drop out of this part way through which is a shame when we see how much work has gone into the preparation of the event. Never mind ... tonight's flight is reserved ... will try to get this short third leg flown this evening.

Phil, you can make back-to-back PP flights as long as you are taking off from where you just landed (I just did, in fact) Only thing you might need to do is close the FLogger once you complete the first flight, go onto the PP site and lock the second flight, then start the FLogger again so it notices the new lock. I'm all caught up now (at HUMA, lovely vis approach, just keep the approach speed low - 130 with full flaps, max autobrakes, and reversers as soon as the main gear is on the deck) and get to have a slack day tomorrow ;)
