Vatsim – Cross the Pond Westbound 2018

On the last weekend the bi-annually cross the pond event on the Vatsim network was held.

I flew with an BBJ configuration from London Heathrow to Toronto.

BBJ at the gate in London

The flighttime was 7 hours and 55 minutes. The block time 9 hours and 3 minutes. The most delay was conducted in London from pushback to taxi and than until takeoff.

But it was an amazing event. During the flight into Toronto also some holding had to be done due to the bad weather in Toronto and therefore extended separation on approach.

Here you can view the briefing package for my flight. AUA364-EGLL-CYYZ-14-Apr-2018-2.pdf (1424 downloads )

In the album here, you can see some pictures I have taken during the flight.

And a 2:30min timelapse video is available as well.

Spain Tour 2018 – Leg 6 – Teneriffa North [GCXO] to Gibraltar [LXGB]

Our todays sixth leg is the longest flight, following the shortest flight on our Tour, before. It takes us up to continental Europe to Gibraltar.

Gibraltar is known for the stunning approach which can result with wind-shears to a go around. Also the runway on the airports is crossed by a public road, which is used by cars and pedestrians.

This leg I am leading up to FL360/380 and the nice approach into Gibraltar. As an extra you can see Chris passing me for a video shoot at FL380 and his landing filmed from my flightdeck view.
