London to Dubai (Emirates 777-300)

Postby Triple_7 » Tue Dec 28, 2004 8:04 pm

Right on time...Its been roughly 2 weeks sence my last VA flight and that seems to be my pace for the last couple months.  So today I decided to take my flight from London's Gatwick to Dubai.  

Spending a couple weeks in London and ready to continue on my way back to Asia.  I have now gone around the world starting in Ampsterdam and circling around through Asia and the US.  My intentions are to explore the Middle East now and then work my way through Asia and so on till i once again circle the globe.  Only with many more stops and short hops.  Not by several long hauls as i did with this trip.  So enough of my rambling here are the pics.

Waiting for takeoff clearence at EGKK.
Image
Liftoff.
Image
Mildly bumpy climb out but things are supposed to be better once at cruising altitude.
Image
37,000 feet and serving supper.  2,000 above our origianal plan do to turbulence but its fairly smooth and a nice tailwind.
Image
What is it with me and landings.  Something always goes wrong.  On our second aproch do to overshooting half the runway on the first and now this guy (Air France 526 arriving a bit late) flies under me on his aproch.  Tower clears me #1 for landing and him #2.  He continues to land and makes me go around yet again.  
Image
Going around for the third aproch.  In the distance is the AF A$$hole slowing down on 30R and half way down and above 30L is a lightly loaded Emirates 777-200 departing.
We finaly made it to the ground Though.  Weather was not the best eather.  Aprox 20 knot cross winds changing directions like mad.
Image
6.2 hours after takeoff we are parked at the gate.  A little late due to the go arounds.  I am on my way to a hotel for the night and then tommarow its off to Islamabad, Pakistan.
Image
This flight also put my log book to 100.2 hours.  All done in real time.  I'm now only .8 hours and 1 flight away from promotion to Junior First Officer ;D  That shall all change tommarow night ;)

Nice flight! I lived in dubai for 13 years and only saw it rain a few times, it seems like you were unlucky to encounter rain!

Thanks... ;D

I downloaded real world weather for the flight but i think something went wrong towards the end.  There was such heavy rain then once on the ground it became a mix of rain and snow.  I know that cant be right ::)  I couldnt even turn it off eather...I tried clearing all weather and everything but it just comming down ???  So might not be flying with much real weather for awhile  :P

Nice pic btw. ;)
