FTX Australia journey 04 - YPLC YMML - TCA2050 - 02-19-2012
The fourth leg of this journey takes us about 470 nm further southeast to Melbourne and for this flight I'm bringing along my Cessna C206.
Overview of the trip:
Getting ready to leave Port Lincoln
Taking the wind conditions into account, we took off from RW19 and climbed to 5.500 ft which would be our cruising altitude for the whole flight.
Shortly after take off, turning left to get on course towards Melbourne
Enjoying the landscape along the way...
Over Coorong
Little Desert National Park
Callawadda
Closer to Melbourne the terrain got a bit more 'hilly'
Grampians National Park
Over Lexton
Finally over the last ridges, at about 30 nm northwest of Melbourne.
Melbourne YMML ahead, and turning downwind for a visual approach to RW34
Turning base with the city in the background...
and settled for a smooth approach to RW34
Taxiing towards the ramp with a view at the main terminal
and finally arrived at our parking spot near the cargo area.
Total block to block time: 3 hours 32 minutes
Flown using:
Microsoft Flight simulator X
Carenado Cessna 206
Active Sky 2012 for weather
Scenery: FTX/Orbx AU + YMML

Great pics again, and your journey is progressing nicely
You might want to check out this before your next leg though!
