FTX Australia journey 04 - YPLC YMML

[TCA2050]

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

Scenery: FTX/Orbx AU + YMML
