ESSA -KORD SAS945

[Nexus]

Did this flight last weekend actually.
Aircraft is an Airbus A343, which will take us all the 3800nm from Stockholm to Chicago.
Tried to plot the route as best I could, so I could calculate the expected headwind component.
Error induced here can easily mean extra fuelburn of up to 4 metric tonnes because of the long duration of the flight

Taxiing out on Yankee, for holding point 01L


Take-off thrust set, a flex of 45 degrees C


Wingview. Just as with the B737, CFM International is the sole supplier of engines to the A342-343


Cruising at FL360


The Skyline of Chicago is clearly visible as we approaches from the east, flight duration has passed 8 hours as we are aiming for a runway 32L approach.


Busy airspaces calls for steep turns, cant take up more space than necessary, as we are about to

Nice shots Nexus, I've always wondered if the automated voice system really do call me a retard, apparently they do.. Really, what does it mean?

FYI: The airbus says "RETARD" twice as a verb, and then as a noun  ;)



Glad you liked the pics.

Hahaha, maybe is something to distract you (calling you retarded) in the greatest part of the flight (for me).

LOL

Nice shots Nexus!

Do you ever speed up the pace (as is doing more than 1X speed)? Or do you sit there for the entire 8 hours?

Sorry for the late reply  8)
For this flight I did not use any time acceleration (but it does happen at times). I started at noon and was done at 21.00LT, but I did lots of other stuff in the meantime and only checked the aircraft every other hour or so.  :)
