Title: Recommend a flight
Post by: EHM-1908 Steve on December 05, 2006, 12:59:21 pm

I thought it may be an idea for ESSA based pilots to recommend there favourite flights in or out of ESSA.

If i could start the ball rolling why not try
 flight 5344
 B737-800
 ESSA-LDSP
Fly with real weather and decsend into rwy 5 ILS.
On the day i flew it i had some low cloud on final the mountains and the sea provide a great back drop

Steve:

Thanks - I'll give this flight a try.  As a 'newbie' to ESSA and the whole Northern European flight sim scene - I  would be appreciative for any other suggestions for interesting flights/destinations from fellow pilots at ESSA.   :D

Well flying into the smaller airfields around northern Norway and Sweden in low visibilty and snow is always great fun and a great challenge. Especially in smaller turbo props like the B-1900D up to the Dash-8 Q400

Well I think it's safe to say if you really want to see especially Norway, the Scandinavian tour is a good way to do that. But that means you need to do some GA flying

There are many great flight out of ESSA, But if you ask me one of them has to be
flt 6322
A333
ESSA - BGSF

It's a long flight, 4:30 - 5 hours. But I think it's worth it just to make a visual approaches into Kangerlussuaq, and it goes without saying doing this in real weather with some crosswind only makes it better.
But a word of advise you need to be ops on the weather, and make sure you can land. Because there isn't many airports on Greenland that can handle an A330. But I guess that only adds to the  fun.
