Final made it across to Nova Scotia. I had a few false starts a month ago and ended up spending more time than I actually wanted in Greenland. During those weeks I have seen the subtle signs of spring begin to creep northwards and melt the polar caps. It seems strange that in a months time I'm hoping to be on the southern side of the equator.
| Airport Scenery Halifax (CYHX) is from Simaddons.com and cost me about (£15) Can$19.99. Its my first from them and I'm suitable impressed. The details good. Although it was dry when I landed, the water reflection off the apron was probably a bit to much at times for me, (but I think that could be my settings from the frictionality addon). I had a low ceiling of 1000ft and did not have time to appreciate the surrounding landmass when I touched down. Simaddons Halifax has independent jetways so no need for AES . . . but they are incredible noisy and in need on some grease!! | |
| The Route I think this has to be one of the longer routes I have yet flown. Close on four hours after having to do a go around at once after aborting on finals at Halifax. My routing was BGBW/ CYMH/ YAY/ YDF/ YJT/ YQY/ CYHZ. The longest stretch being across the straight to Mary's Harbour (CYMH) The weather was pretty good with a front just after hitting the Canadian mainland. The seatbelt sign was only on for a few minutes ans I don't think anybody spilt any drinks. My of the leg down NewFoundland was above a carpet of cloud that got a bit heavier approaching Halifax. The Flight I had loaded UTX Canada in the hope of seeing some incredible landscape below me. I was a bit disappointed as this was pointless at FL380 and cloud cover Charts Charts from www.IVAO.ca (CYHZ) | |
| AI Traffic The skies have been pretty quiet around me for the last few legs. But now, as I'm approaching the North Americas, things are starting to get a bit busier. One or two rapid changes in altitude prevented us banging into the other travellers on this Atlantic crossing freeway. Delta seemed intent on making life a bit nerve racking for my passengers. Where ever it was they where going . . they where going there in a straight line!!" BA4045 . . please expedite your climb to FL380!!" |  |
