Moscow to Kiev (UUEE - UKBB)

Airtraffic control tower at UUEE not looking that impressed with me!!

The weather was terrible. The freezing rain and low cloud at Sheremetyevo International with the same low cloud over Boryspil International Airport, witnessed me slide off the end of the runway and have to run the flight again. The second attempt was no better. Terrible bumpy on the climb out of Moscow followed by two go arounds at UKBB before I managed to get her onto the ground. The same heavy winds that have been blowing a gale here at home and this could be an omen of things to come. I battled with the de-icing process before departure with the build up of more ice before I had even left UUEE. The snow effects at UUEE  impressive with flurries masking the boundaries of the taxi ways. Even though we departed ahead of schedule, we where late into Kieve. Needless to say the passengers are pissed and I've still to earn some points!

AIP  Found this great AIP resourse for the Ukrainian airports at http://vacc-ua.aero/?page_id=87&lang=en
AI Traffic Not excessively busy enroute , but one of my "go around" was due to being lined up a bit to close abeam another parallel Lufthansa flight. It would appear that I got in after the the British Airways Airbus flight from Heathrow . Nice variety of providers with Windrose on the apron. Windrose WOA-AI from Avsim
Airport Scenary I used the free download scenery for UKBB from http://www.interskystudio.info/. A very nice package that is worth a donation.
