June 4, 201412 yr Hi all Usually long hauls are not my cup of tea, but I did fly it in real life 2 years ago, and my brother, who will visit us in a few weeks, will take this flight. So I decided to practice NATs This is Flight #TS392 operated by Air Transat, from Montreal CYUL to Lyon LFLL. And a good old A310 with one VHS cassette and a few screens as onboard entertainment system. Here is what last week's flight path looked like (taken from Flightaware) And here is my FP NAPEE PLB BTV LEB ENE EBONY LOMPI JAROM TALGO NAT_U {44N050W 47N040W 50N030W 51N020W} DINIM ELSOX RATKA BERAD TERPO TIS ------------------------------ FUEL INFORMATION ------------------------------ FUEL ARPT FUEL TIME ------------------------------ TAXI YUL 0.9 0010 BURN LYS 34.2 0708 CONT 1.7 0023 ALTN MXP 3.1 0035 FINAL RESERVE 1.9 0030 ETOPS 0.0 0000 WXX 0.0 0000 ------------------------------ BLOCK FUEL YUL 41.8 ------------------------------ EST FOD LYS 6.7 0128 ------------------------------ Leaving the gate a few minutes late, at 6:22pm (expected 6:15) Taxiing to RW 24R TO at 6:28, keeping 238° and following ATC vectors to NAPEE Somewhere above Atlantic, nice atmosphere during dawn Then sunset while approaching French coasts around 5:30am (local time) Over Lyon, nice weather... ... and French alps in the background (spectacular fog rendering, thanks to P3D) Final left turn at the end of TIS STAR, to align on RW 36L Wheels on the ground at 7:40 after a nice and smooth manual approach And finally at the gate, it is 07:46, only 15mn late (expected 07:30) with some traffic around

June 4, 201412 yr Author Ah, you are referring to the A330 "Noise Abatement" Edition ? :ph34r: About the A310s From / to Lyon, Air Transat operates both A330 and A310. Each time (4x) I had to fly to Montreal, I had A310s... Tiny cabin, poor / no entertainment system... :wacko: These aircrafts are 30 years old, and it is starting to show up.
June 4, 201412 yr Yeah that's on Saturday. I'm hoping his bout of 'the terrible twos' has ended by then :lol:
June 4, 201412 yr Author This is the free version of FsMovMap, that you can get here. You also have to download and install the server found here. This really is a great app, I only miss the real route that could be drawn while you fly, but it could be included with the pro version - I did not investigate.
