Cruising along over the giant Pacific Ocean
   

   

   

Descending on the NOLU1 arrival, Rarotonga should come in sight soon
   

...there she is....
   

Turning final
   

... and stable on the approach
   

   

Great view for a manual approach
   

... only feet away from touching down and taking that flex out of the wings...
   

Enjoying the views on rollout and while taxiing to our assigned spot
   

   

   

   

and here we are....
   

   

Let's see what this beautifull pacific island has to offer

Hi Stefaan,

Very nice report and a very good looking scenery as well.
You were not so far off from me, as I flew to Tahiti during the night. Unfortunately it was already dark on arrival and I am already on my way to Santiago de Chile at the moment. I am using the nice looking PJ-TBJ

But I still have the problem that the autobrakes pops out upon touchdown. A little bit annoying..

Nice report Stefaan. Nice looking aircraft!

Hey CB, I have a cure for your autobrakes...Don't use them, your feet are for braking!

Your feet are for breaking, but only if you fly for Fred Flinstone Cargo lines.
