Loaded her up with some 80tonnes of fuel, reports of jetstreams in the 150kt+ range had been reported by the WAFC in London (those Brits better be correct on this one ;D )
TOW was just above 300tonnes, which isn't that heavy. (MTOW is at around 363.000kgs)
Departed 09R on a CPT5J departure, initial climb to FL340 (later step climbs to FL360/380)
Just left the coast of Ireland, Cruising now at FL360 on NAT C
Yes, I admit. These long haul flights tends to be rather boring at times ::)
Well just look at that! Those lads at the WAFC were actually correct. And check out the sucky Groundspeed to boot. Might aswell just walk to JFK....
Leaving the NAT and set course towards New York and Kennedy Intl. Just made the last step climb to FL380
Approaching the viscinity of KJFK on the ENE4 arrival, RNAV approach to 22L.
Final approach for Flight 117, looking good!
...30...20...10. Welcome to New York!
That's it for now =)
