This time I flew from Jerez to Granada and took my camera with me! My flying partner took a few photos whilst she was sat at the back and then I took some more on the way back when I was not flying. The weather wasn’t bad – a few clouds at 3000 feet and then a thicker layer at 9000 feet near Granada, we were above the clouds most of the time apart from the approach and descent. The flight started with a standard intrument departure from Jerez, flying east and then an instrument arrival and VOR approach into Granada. We were, for the post part at at Flight Level 90, then temporarily at Flight Level 100 (10,000 feet), till we were given descent instructions to 7000 feet for our approach to land on runway 09. During the cruise we practiced some fix-to-fix (or point-to-point) navigation.
The new plog (pilot log) that I designed using existing ones makes it much easier for me since I’m left handed. I’ve always found, as a left-handed person, with most things being designed for the right-handed, existing plogs awkward to write on! Flip things around and it’s way better for me!
Here are a few photos of the Granada trip:
