738 at Madeira

[Pochi 68]

Hi all, I was looking for FPL from Gibraltar or Faro to Madeaira and noticed that validated flightplan were no higher than FL200. Do you know the reason of such a limitation in this area? Pierre Lainé

Aerosoft Lisbon X, also Faro X

Sure. Aerosoft has one, with AES support (no, I'm not an Aerosoft employee. I just happen to have these addons).

Yep. I've got that scenery. It's fine, and I do regular flights to Funchal.

Thanks folks, much appreciated.

Odd flight levels. Portugal, as well as Spain, France, Switzerland, Italy, Marroco and North Algeria, works with the North/South RVSM model, instead of the East/West most of the countries use. North is even and south is odd.

Thx for the info barfra...so heres my very first try ever...gotta keep practicing http://www.youtube.c...-dJ0p4xE38&hd=1

Nice video, BTW. Very beautiful. For a first try, it was great! Regarding operations, you should be already fully configured for landing when you start the turn, with gear down, landing flaps and at the approach speed. It only seems to me that you were a bit too fast. But that requires a lot of training. It's a dificult approach, but when you manage to do it right, it gives you the best rewarding feeling a pilot can have. It's very good.

Depends on what the FMS gives to me as an optimal cruise altitude. It can be FL350 of you're very heavy, FL370, FL390 or even FL410 you've got and almost empty flight. It just have to be odd, what means no FL340, FL360, FL380, FL400 or other even flight levels :)
