BAW558 [EGLL - LIRF]
Posted: Wed Jul 12, 2006 10:37 amJust completed a rather pleasant afternoon flight from London to Rome. Aircraft was PIC 737-300 from feelThere in the British Airways scheme.
Rotating from 27R. Felt like an eternity because engines only rated to 18.5k (optional) AND a selective temp derate to 89% N1 :'(
Maintaining 6000ft until passing Midhurst VOR, then we climb to our crz level of 350.
Saying hello to at least 5 aircrafts catching the afternoon rush into LHR, only one aircaft is seen climbing.
Avoiding some huge CB cells. SWC weather chart mapped this CB system ranging from the french riviera all the way up to Moscow and even passing it. This was a bumby ride ;D Magenta is turbulence :D
Sun is about to go down behind as as we leave the western Alps
Final approach for runway 25 in very gusty conditions. right after this shot was taken the wind indicator on the EHSI swinged to 249/11kt :P
Vacated the runway and heading for our gate, welcome to Rome :)
Hope you liked 'em :)
