Here is a "little" report from Cross The Pond Eastbound 08 seen from my eyes.

Text ABOVE the pictures. Enjoy,or not. ;)

 

Booking details for my flight

Todays flightplan in Vroute format. Very handy sheet to use online.

All honor to Michal Rok for this allround versataile application!

A little preview from ground JFK. Not yet logged online.

Prepared for boarding,courtesy of AES.

I am at World Port gate 6,which is terminal 3,where Delta's hang out and former home of

the historic Pan Am, Clippers.

Early preflight preperations going on.

Some fuel calculations by Vroute and a look a my given SID,BETTE3 ACK trans.

fuelup2.jpgdsc00943ya1.jpg

 

More calculations to confirm numbers given in Vroute.

I have 410 pax = 73.800lbs on this mornings flight.

390 of them with bags checked in + a little cargo totalling 138.300

I added 88lbs because OEW is 394.088 not 394.000.

Now we really are getting serviced at ground.

Looking at my NAT which was Oscar. Entry point at YQX,gander ending with the exit point at the

other end of the "tunnel",DOGAL setting me up to pass overhead Shannon Intl.(SHA) and later GIBSO for a WILLO2D Arrival into LGW.

A lot of clearences to deliver out of JFK this morning as you can see!

Taxiing on Alpha past a Speedbird for 13R takeoff. Suprisingly swift ground operations at JFK

Doing an imediate taxi into position and hold 13R

I did a shot of route done by Vataware in google mode to compare accuracy.

Red line shows what Vataware records from Vatsim in google view,white is actual taxi I did at JFK.

Rotate!

So long JFK

Heading north on departure before turning south DCT BETTE.

Finally past BETTE and heading out sea to Nantucket(ACK)

The departure madness is in session!

screenshot156om5.jpg

 

I'm in Moncton airspace. A little confused controller not on top of things.

Adressing "all pilots west should be with xxx.xx and all pilots east should be with xxx.xx.

I never got a handoff ,but hey,I can live with that. ::)

No flight without an inflight meal. Brought to me by my personal flight attendant for the flight off course! :grin:

The darkness is setting in as we move closer to UK

Overview shot of my "cockpit".

dsc00929wo7.jpg

 

Very handy progress position report sheet for Osceanic flights. As you can see my clearence is not noted.

As the controller on 131.37 Gander Oceanic DEL was not really on top of things! He had absolutely no control what so ever actually.

So after 3-4 requests on voice,where he 2 times asked for callsign on text which was given 2 times + one hole clearence request.

I gave up as many many other pilots did and reported back to Gander CTR and from there went on to Gander Oceanic Oscar and reported when YQX was passed and went on. So Moncton west and Gander Oceanic DEL don't get a "passing" note from me.

Other than those 2,all other controllers I went through were very good ,making this a very well organised event.

Madness reaching UK,time for arrival preparations soon.

A closer look at my given Arrival procedures. WILLO2D and I prepared myself for possible holdings at Goodwood(GWC) ,HOLLY or WILLO

willo2dkt1.jpg

 

Here I have passed WILLO but luckily no holding. Though, I was vectored around a little,

before ordered north for joining 4 aircrafts in front of me ,preparing for final approach to RWY 26L

Wow! Det må jeg si, du vet hva du driver på med :D

Utrolig flott repportasje dette her Tommy. Slett ikke ofte jeg ser så detaljerte og gjennomtenkte flyplaner foran en PC.

 

En ting jeg lurer på; hvor får du tak i alle de utskriftene? Kunne gjerne tenkt meg noen selv til å ha på rommet. Hvor får jeg JEPPESEN utskrifter over flyplasser? Husker jeg var på en side og skaffet over ENGM og ENAL, men husker jaggu ikke siden igjen.

Takk og takk igjen! :)

 

Halvdan, Ja,var gode tailvinder hele turen. Var vel helt oppe i 160kt tailwind fra 6 o'clock på siste del av NA tracket,så det gikk unna. Var vel 45 min early down at Gatwick selv med en del "hit of dit" vektorering under arrival + en lang downwind før baseleg og final approach.

 

Håkon, tja,godt spørsmål. Det virka ikke som AES var aktiv at LGW. Har en UK 2000 utgave av den og tror det må være noe som følger med flyplassen. Ting at gate skjedde automatisk.

Nå som du har kikket igjennom fjorårets event sett fra min øyne,

ja da tror jeg det rykker litt i rudderfoten og throttlehånda

etter å være med på Vatsim's madness numero uno! Eller?
