Back to following on this leg, heading eastward over the southern Adirondacks I meant to fly over on the previous leg. One of the reasons I chose to fly later in day is that the Moon would be out

Back to manual control to enter the pattern for left downwind as I cross over Umeå Airport

Flight Log - Maldivian Overflight Leg 1 by Drew Sikora

Oh hell someone decided to land the wrong way - or maybe the right way for their flight plan I dunno. Not sure if player or AI although at no point was ATC talking to another plane

Back below transition altitude and again no reminder to change over to local pressure - I've already listened to the ATIS too

Flight Log - Indianonesia by Drew Sikora

Rapid climb led to a pressurization warning when the system failed to keep up. So close to leveling off too! Will have to revisit the PoH and see if setting the Bleed switch to Max Diff rather than Auto would help

Flight Log - Leeward Islands by Drew Sikora

Not visible from this altitude or simply the terrain mesh not being good enough, some of the famous Tepui - large mesa/table-top mountains that host unique wildlife habitats

Tut tut, looks like rain. No big surprise down here in the tropics

After that descent and climb I will definitely not be making it to Churchill Falls in one go. Too much low-flying and meandering. Thankfully I have plenty of alternate options to choose from on my route to land for gas

Passing the city of Puno and the Uros Floating Islands

Nice, clear skies over my destination of Saint Martin/Saint Maarten

Going around after I failed to engage reverse thrust properly on touchdown, dammit!

Another smooth touchdown

Good engagement of reverse thrust!

Flight Log - Iced Out by Drew Sikora

My airport elevation is more nuanced and less flat than the default field so some areas other planes show up higher. I think also his taxiway configuration was different cause I went to pass ahead of him and he rolled forward like he expected me to turn left

Flight Log - Southern NJ by Drew Sikora

Turning south to follow the Turnpike (I-95), keeping it out the left window for better visibility and Andrew slowed up to let me follow better

Using my GPS to maintain a constant ground track while being pushed around by winds - as you can see I'm not aiming directly towards the heading bug on my magnetic compass

Flight Log - Twin City Flyby by Drew Sikora

We actually didn't get a great view of St. Paul earlier as we circled around the Bravo airspace but Minneapolis is looking quite fine as we depart the city for our destination to the west
