The first Concorde flight

(1/3) > >>

EHM-1001 Robert:
Well,

I had to return from TNCM very fast, so I choosen the Concorde. I have to say, that the current EHB-B772 (TNCM > EGLL) flight should not be appear already in the timetable. Also the Concorde is not able to take off from TNCM, anyway I did this flight to try out the new Concorde and my skills.

Wow, the Concorde disaster is just played now on Discovery Channel...weird. :o

A typical civilian sight of the airport, at StMaarten:


I wanted to set a back wind, therefore I must turn around at the end of the runway, to take off in front of the Hotel:


Airborn, with some cheating... :$ :


Started climb to initial level over the coasts:


Reached initial FL330 over the Caribbean Sea. Strange autopilot behavior can be seen in the background:


At cruise level FL510, already in supersonic mode:


Passing Bermuda Island. Because of Mach2.0 I "ran off" the track with 10 miles in this turn:


Because of the extra northern initial route, I would not have enough fuel to finish the flight. I had to add some extra gallons near the destination... Coming over Ireland. Suddenly it got dark:


Over Shannon. Descended again to FL330 and entered subsonic mode:


I made a superb Southampton arrival. Landing was tricky because of a nasty, slow Cessna, but passengers were not in danger ;D Taxiing at Heathrow:


Shut down at Terminal4 with some BMI planes in the surrounding, at late night:


It was a good flight although it cannot be done in reality...so afterall I decided to rather not fill in a PIREP.

EHM-1077 Emanuele:
We will tell nobody. ;)

Ciao ciao!

EHM-1365 Benjamin:
