Seville Land-Away

Before you do you PT1 there is a planned land away trip at Seville. This is approximately 30 minutes as the laymen flies. However we will choose a route which takes about 1.5hrs.

The weather was clear, winds were calm but the visibility was not so good. One of the biggest limitations is the temperature. It is estimated that there is a 5°C difference from Jerez to Seville and given it was already 30°C at Jerez, you can imagine how much of a difference this makes to both the human limitations of the crew (given the aircraft are not air conditioned) and that of the aircraft itself! 

It's a fantastic trip up to the foot hills north of Seville. The complex terrain makes it more interesting for navigating and really hammers home the importance of precise planning and a flawless execution of times and headings. Of course after a long trip it would be rude not to refuel yourself as well as the aircraft!

The video shows it all a little better.
