Fourth leg in F1 Event
« on: March 21, 2007, 09:30:58 pm »
This is a leg from Melbourne (YMML), back to Kuala Lumpur (WMKK). I did it yesterday's night, so did it Trevor, just a few hours later on. Here are some informations for all the pilots who are still in Melbourne.

The flight took me 8 hours and 30 min. - block time. Flying: 8 hours 10 min. This is almost one hour more due to westbound fly in comparison with 7 hours 30 min ( in average ) pointing eastbound. On this flight ( using Real weather ) I flew on FL 360 and with 0.82 Mach due to partialy strong front winds. ( Didn't want to risk OVERSPEED )On the way to Melbourne it was FL 350 and M 0.79. All the rest was more or less a routine and PP worked just perfect.

I sincerely hope all the rest of my coleaguas pilots will arrive to Kuala Lumpur without any problems.
