Doodle for next Trans Siberia PP Event leg
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:
:o
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 ...
EHM-1997 Alexander:
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. ;D
EHM-2387 Eric-Jan:
Some impressions of our last leg:, UNKL-UIII:
DetailsThe terrain off to our right is getting more mountainous.
DetailsNice, close formation, but not too close ;) (no TCAS going crazy, this time)
DetailsVOR-DME approach rwy30 UIII
DetailsDavid landing rwy 12 after his go-around rwy30
DetailsParking at a snowy Irkutsks
DetailsDavid'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 :D
