Posted: Thu Apr 27, 2006 1:36 pmHere are a few shots of my afternoon, 3 hour long flight from Auckland (NZAA) to Brisbane (YBBN) in my iFDG Air New Zealand A320-232 (Reg ZK-OJF)
I normally fly prop aircraft but once in a while I like to use my IFR skills and do medium haul flights in my favourite small passenger jet!
1) After taking off from runway 23L at Auckland International, Oceanic control cleared me to climb up above the clouds, with the moon hiding behind my tail.
2) Cruising at FL300, I let autopilot do the work for me as my passengers began thier in-flight movie
3) Over 1000 miles later, Brisbane control brought me down to 18,000 feet as I banked right on my approach
4) Minutes later I was on finals at Brisbane International, with gear down and flaps extended
5) After landing right on the centre line and time to kick in the reverse thrust
6) Parked at the gate, with the cleaners sweeping the cabin and the cargo emptied
Hope you liked the screenies
