As the weather changed since the last flight, the active runway is now 28.
Ready to take-off on runway 28 |
Downwind leg |
I leave the airbase at 08:07 and climb to 9,500 ft as I head to the 56° to reach the VOR beacon LCA. I should be on it at 08:27.
Flying along the coast. |
A few minutes later, I can see Larnaca airport on my left.
Larnaca in sight |
Still a few minutes to fly and I'm proud to see that I am be precisely on time over my turning point. My remaining fuel is 150 gal which is very good too.

Now I can turn left to follow the 14° radial which will make me follow the coast.
Then after a few minutes, I have to turn right to follow the 88° course. And after a 20 minutes flight I turn right again to the 325°. Thus I have to descend to 8,500 ft to fit the VFR altitude rules (Even South West).
Another few minutes later, I see my destination airfield on my right.
Destination in sight |
As it is a non controlled airfield, I just announce myself and my intending to land there. Thanks to the good weather conditions and the clear picture of the airfield I decide to enter directly in final leg and land at once.
Landed at Gecitkale. |
I touch the ground at 09:00 with a few minutes late. I still have 140 gal in my tank. It should be enough for the next flight. I stop the plane and shut it down before the next flight...
My flight plotted on the map |
Today was quite an easy flight yet I still had trouble managing the throttle and the power lever. This is going to be the main axis of work of the following sessions.
