Formula 1 Charter Canada

[CBreuer]

Hi guys,

Here is a little report about the return flight from the Canada Grand Prix last weekend.

We took the B767-300ER PJ-LDP 'Antillean Promise' for this flight. Our 201 PAX had also dried from yesterdays race, which was thrilling in some instances.
We also departed via CYUL6 to YUL and further on via J566 to MSS J37 TUPER DCT HNK DCT HAR DCT LDN DCT LYH DCT GSO J75 TAY DADES1.

We had fueled up to 26 tons and we would depart from RWY 06L with a flaps 5 setting and a de-rated TO2 thrust of +45°C resulting in the following speeds: V1 140, Vr 144, V2 149. So far so good.

Shortly before 1200Z it was time for boarding as our departure was scheduled for 1215Z.
   

Maybe someone had arrive to the race with a nice Global Express, but couldn't afford the paint?
   

Our planned departure, which was very close to the missed approach procedure for RWY 06L:
   

A quick check for the fuel panel - ah, 26 tons that is correct...
   

At 1216Z we finally pushed back and we could start the engines. No. 2 as first and then our No. 1.
   

As we taxied out a flysunwing B738 taxied in.
   

Shortly thereafter we arrived at the runway and could line up after another aircraft had landed. We became airborne at 1227Z and followed our departure.
   

Bye, bye, Montreal.
   
   

Shortly after departure we had already reached our initial cruising altitude of FL350 where we will stay only for a short while as after TUPER we have to climb to FL360.
   

The flight itself was uneventful but that was not the case for the arrival.
For some reason I messed it up a little bit, but we were able to stay inside the calculated flying time. The flight lasted 2:50. Nevertheless the flight was planned for an arrival to RWY 36L, but we could land on 18R instead at 1517Z. Three minutes later we already arrived at our gate (72).
   

OK, we had some little time on the ground to prepare for the ongoing flight (TCC9010(-11)) to Curaçao, which had a scheduled departure of 1710Z. Unfortunately FS9 didn't want it the way I wanted it and so it happened that we had a delay of 15 minutes before we were ready to go.

This time we had 197 PAX and would need 23.5 tons of fuel. Our routing was as follows: GANDY1 SABEE DCT RSW DCT HST DCT EONNS A509 URSUS UL795 SENSO UL674 ABA UA574 PJG.
But you can also see all of this from the flightplan itself:

OK, pushing back and starting engines:
   

Climbing out over Florida
   

Somewhere near Aruba close to Top of Descend and the final picture
   

The approach was as common to ILS RWY 11 and we touched down at 2022Z and arrived at the parking position H4 at 2026Z and so we stayed inside the original plan for this flight.

Next Charter will be from Curaçao via San Francisco to Valencia in Spain. So in case you don't know what to do next week, that might be a good trip - if you like long-haul.
