May 18, 20179 yr I forgot to post after my flights yesterday. Anyway, here's legs 7 and 8. After spending a couple of days in London it was time to continue the World Tour. I managed to get to Heathrow around 8am local and after the pre-flight I fired up the PC-12 and was ready for my IFR instructions.

May 18, 20179 yr Author I got back at around noon with plenty of daylight and good weather left to knock off what will be the shortest leg of the tour so far - Brussels to Amsterdam. This one may have been short but it was plenty of fun. A low enough cruise altitude and great weather gave me a chance to see a lot of scenery along the way and of course, take pictures. Leg 8 May 17-17 Brussels National (EBBR) to Schiphol (EHAM) 87 nm, 0 h 26 m, Low Altitude 3,000ft Weather - Wind Direction and Speed 216°M, 4 kts, Temperature 21°C, 69°F, Pressure 29.87 inHg, Visibility > 20 nm: I'll probably run out of plane before I run out of flags to put on it: Wheels up - 144pm local 1144am UTC from the tower: EBAW and the city of Antwerp from 3,000ft: 3,000ft over Rotterdam: Cleared to land, ILS runway 36R: Landed - 2:14pm local 4:14pm UTC Flight time - :30 Accumulated flight time - 23hrs 35mins Accumulated distance - 5042 I touched down at 2:14 local. I think I spent more time taxiing than flying on this trip. Anyway, I decided to spend some time seeing the sights and I'll head for Luxembourg Saturday. Until next time, happy landings! Barry
