Title: Greetings from Innsbruck LOWI
Post by: Boeing Skunk Works on October 11, 2009, 05:49:45 PM
After working nine hours today I decided to heap a few more hours on my back and fly the London-Innsbruck route.

Route of flight is DVF5F UL9 KONAN UL607 BOMBI T104 MUN TULSI3A

Wind at FL330 was, at times, 99@330V310. Decreasing in the descent to around 44@230V290 by 9500 past MUN. By RTT is was down to 35 knots and decreasing to 0 knots by 6,000.

A very nice flight despite the 10°+/- wind correction held most of the way. The approach was uneventful, but this was my very first approach in mountainous terrain using wideview.

It looked like I was flying down a ditch. No kidding, it was pretty cool.

Sorry, most are variations in angle. I wasn't sure which was best so I posted all of 'em. Live with it.  :laugh: I had a really nice B&W shot but I couldn't get it out of PS.

Yep, that's the one, but I don't usually fly it off of MUN. I'm usually flying the SBG approach to RAT coming from LOWW.

This approach is easier than the SBG and it's the first time I've flown it to 26 landing on 26.

It's pretty cool with WidevieW! I gotta try Sion soon. That's gotta be like landing in a trench.  :laugh:

Nice pics. LOWI is a nice place to arrive and depart. Been there thousands of times in FS.

Hi Mike,
so often you are flying to Innsbruck you have to try the new LOWI Scenery and the circling approach to RWY08! This is a blast! Unfortunately it is payware (US$ 29,63), but worth every cent!

On final you can see a train out of Innsbruck causing sparks on it's power line!  ;D
... and no, I don't get any commission on sales  ;D
Cheers

Nicely done Rene.. and to be honest, what I would have said listening to a radio like that would have been way worse :)
