This month I was assigned the route between Entebbe (HUEN) and Ivato (FMMI) in central Madagascar. I flew something a little larger than usual!
Freight hub at Entebbe
Pushback
This thing uses a lot of runway when fully loaded!
Turning final
If anyone else flies this trip, be warned, the ILS at FMMI will fly you into the ground in FSX as it ignores the hill just before the runway. I had to disconnect and apply a lot of power to clear it before chopping all the power to get the nose down and back onto the glideslope on short final!!
The return is a night trip so just a couple of flight deck shots
