Leg 8 - LFLJ-LFLS
Departed: 08:55z (RWY 4)
Arrived: 09:50z (RWY 9)
Weather: Few clouds; light rain
Aircraft: Cirrus SR22
Route: VFR through Alpine valleys to LFLS
Approach: Visual approach into RWY 9
Remarks:
- Thanks to a descending cloud base, I ended up having to spend the night in Courchevel and delay my onward journey until the following morning.
- There were still a few clouds in the sky as I departed, but thankfully they were well above the surrounding peaks and Alpine valleys, giving me a clear route out of the Alps, over Grenoble and into Alpes–Isère (LFLS).
Distance completed: 1,658nm Distance remaining: 44,933nm
For the next leg it’s back into the Airbus A320neo, as I make my way south-west into Spain and head to Madrid (LEMD).
