Bengaluru to Mumbai by MD-11 (what else? :) )

Recommended Posts

I believe some Fedex cargo departing Bengaluru goes to Mumbai, so here we are :cool:

Taxiing out. There's a bit of haze and overcast, but not much of a factor seeing as we're IFR anyway (always?)

Took the picture too soon; before the gear swing.

..and after gear retraction d'oh!

Turning on to course. You can tell I've not got autoflight engaged.. :)

Soon be above all this - a better rate of climb had been established by this point :blush:

At cruise altitude, the Indian coastline can be seen at the horizon.

Descending towards Mumbai.

We'll be using the ILS for RWY9.

Waiting to intercept the localiser.

Great freeware VABB by the way.

Approach is good....

...but then I had to mess with the stick closer to the ground.. No centreline landing .. AGAIN  :kusut:

I'm cursed! Then again, not only did we walk away, but the big girl is still intact and fully serviceable!

They were judging me.. I tell you. They were laughing, I just know it..

One of your shortest "voyages" in this Cargo Plane...🙂...(between two of the busiest metropolis in the country)...Mumbai more so than Bengaluru, so your (opening) hunch is probably correct...!
