Delivery_12_IFR Flesland (ENBR) to Gullknapp (ENGK).pln (3.7 KB)
The last ride - we’ve covered over 4,000 NM and 177 to go before we deliver these planes to their new home. A little over 2 hours since we had to depart via SID from Bergen.
Departing Bergen on the TUXI3C SID:
We pass over the small town of Hjellestad south of Bergen:
There’s plenty of ferry traffic plying the routes between the islands and fjords:
Beautiful view of the fjords framed in the back by the inland mountain ranges:
A massive windfarm on Stord:
Turning east at TUXIL near Haugensund:
Low lying clouds in the fjords near Stavanger:
Intercepting the IAF near Senumstad - we can see the Skagerrak Straits from here:
Arendal/Gullknapp (ENGK) is an unlit strip; we’re looking real hard to get a visual in the fading light:
Visual landmark - the town of Blakstad spanning both sides of the Nidelva River near ENGK:
Hazard on the RWY05 approach - high tension wire towers - we disconnect AP to handfly and drop down immediately after:
No marshaller or greeting party, but OSM has a new C172 safely on the ramp. What a trip!
