Remarks:

  • I programmed the BREN2J departure into the MCDU, but the autopilot decided to skip the OEJ waypoint and turned me direct to INN shortly after take-of…fortunately my climb rate was sufficient to clear the nearby terrain to south!

Next up is a short hop across the Alps in the Cirrus SR22 to Alpes–Isère (LFLS), stopping for lunch in Courchevel (LFLJ) to experience it’s famous visual approach (weather permitting)!
