London Heathrow - Glasgow (EGLL- EGPF)

Heading Northward to the land of, Whiskey, Tartan and bloody awful weather!







Don't be fooled, it might look clear but the weather leaving London got nasty crossing the Scottish border. Turbulence, rain  and a missed approach probably gave my passengers plenty to complain about when they climbed off this roller-coaster. Poor visibility with a cloud base at 900ft forced a go around at Glasgow when I failed to line her up on the first attempt.

Airport Scenery (EGPF) Glasgow International Airport. This airport is from the UK2000 sim stable and as always looks great. Sold seperatly, I think you can also get it bundled together with Edinburg on CD format. I was a bit disappointed that the AES system did not start up on my arrival, this could have been on he AES side rather than the airports. No jetways where displayed. UK2000
AI Traffic Not much activity on the way up. Things where rather quiet. However this elegant old lady was at the London Heathrow to see us off. This is one of the static aircraft in the London Heathrow Xtended package.
Charts  Still by far, the best source of free AIP and plates is the UK NATS site. For Glasgow International Ground layout try here

THE FLIGHT PLAN

Time	Notes
	The Planning: The second of the Aerosoft "AtW" legs. Most of the other pilots had been logging there flights during the week, reporting fairly poor weather. The UK is expecting another lashing of high winds this week. I managed to squeeze the flight in, arriving Glasgow as many are discussing the next leg out to Iceland. The high winds ruined my fuel conservation and I arrived using almost twice of what was expected.
	The Route: EGLL/ WOBUN/ DTY/AKUPA/ LESTA/ DISAL/ BOLBI/ POL/ RIBEL/SHAPP/ ABEVI/ TLA/ LANAK/ GOW/ EGPF
	The Weather: Pretty Grim over Scotland!!
