Leg 11 - LPMA-LXGB
Departed: 14:40z (RWY 5)
Arrived: 16:20z (RWY 9)
Weather: Scattered clouds on departure; clear skies on arrival
Aircraft: Airbus A320neo
Route: LPMA N0160F360 DEGU3N LUKAN OGDOR BENTU ABODA RUNAX PISIG AMPIR SOVIS RIPRA LXGB
Approach: RNAV RWY09 (direct)
Remarks:
- I had to attempt flight twice, as I once again encounterd an autopilot bug on approach that caused me to descend into the sea. The first flight was a nighttime approach (which certaintly didn’t help with situational awareness when the autopilot went crazy), so I made sure to start earlier on my second attempt to ensure it’d still be light for the arrival into Gibraltar.
- Pilot2ATC assigned the DEGU3N departure from LPMA and vectors to the RNAV 09 approach into LXGB.
Distance completed: 3,536nm Distance remaining: 43,055nm
Its finally time to leave Europe, and start making some real progress, as I head to Cairo (HECA) for the next leg (the first of a series of 4hr+ flights)!
