Leg 7 - LIMF-LFLJ
Departed: 08:50z (RWY 36)
Arrived: 09:50z (RWY 22)
Weather: Clear departure; cloud base at ~7-8,000ft over Alps (VFR into LFLJ)
Aircraft: Cirrus SR22
Route: VFR through Alpine valleys to LFLJ
Approach: Visual approach into RWY 22
Remarks:
-
I ended up making two attempts at VFR into LFLJ: on the first attempt, I was thwarted by low clouds on entering the Alps and had to turn back; on the second attempt, I chose a slightly longer route that ran through the valleys and was able to keep below the 7-8,000ft cloud base and make it to LFLJ (although my landing wasn’t the best!)

Below is a copy of the chart I used for the visual approach into LFLJ (found at the following link)
Distance completed: 1,603nm Distance remaining: 44,988nm
After a short break for lunch, I’ll continue my journery across the Alps and head to Alpes–Isère (LFLS).
