RTW 2015 Practice 1

[srgalahad]

Well it was fun but the baton is back to 42VA

Night landing in an unfamiliar harbour is always risky.

 

[robert41]

I have baton 42VA to CYQI. RR/SOH Hornet.

 

[robert41]

Baton free at CYQI. Plenty of fuel this time. First crappy weather flight. Snow, wind, no visibility till about 100ft above the ground. Good thing this airport had lights.

 

[Kowalski65]

I have the baton cyqi-cyqy,fs sea fury

 

[Kowalski65]

Baton back at CYQI,crashed on final,everything just went black for a few seconds

 

[Kowalski65]

Try again
I have the baton cyqi-cyqy P47M

 

[Devildog73]

Kowalski65,
If you can get it to CQYX Gander, I will take the baton to Shannon, Ireland (SNN) today.

 

[Kowalski65]

Sadly real life means I wont have time for the extra distance

Irrelevant anyay,CYQY is totally socked in,crashed in fog,visibility <100 yds!
baton still at CYQI
Sorry

 

[Devildog73]

I'll keep watching until you can get out.

Check you PM.

 

[Kowalski65]

Wont be me who can advance the baton tonight

 

[Devildog73]

Wont be me who can advance the baton tonight

I have a couple of errands and meetings this afternoon, but will pick it up from you and fly to Gander with it.

If nobody else picks it up there I will fly it on to Greenland, Iceland or Ireland tonight.

 

[Spookster67]

I have the baton, CYQI to CYQX, F7F3 Tigercat (SOH/Milton)

 

[Kowalski65]

Currently VERY thick fog at Gander,from 2000 ft down to ground level at 500. No wind at ground, a bit higher gusting to 10 kn from 344

 

[Spookster67]

Thanks for the update. My weather engine is also telling me winds calm, 0.1sm visibility!

ETA 25 mins

460 knots ground speed in a Tigercat (thanks to 80 knot tail wind)

 

[Spookster67]

Baton is free at CYQX.

Not my best instrument approach, but I found a runway in the fog eventually.
