Buzzbee Western Air Adventure to Argentina

[buzzbee]

Down safe at MPMG - Almost landed at the wrong field, but made and extra turn around the area, double checked the charts and decided that nice long, well lit runway was not the one we wanted.

Flight time 1:45.39
Fuel used 2,977.7

At least the night legs are over with.

Safe landing at SEGU after some drama. For some reason the fuel system was a little strange and drained the right side tank completely. For a little while we were flying on #1 & 2 alone. Managed to get #3 started but never could get #4 to start and I was almost there and did not want to risk killing 2 good engines.

Flight time 3:08
Fuel Used 5622.5

I was unable to get back in after my last leg due to the incident.

Here are the files.

This is a challenging mountain leg. Some of the management was arguing for a more daring direct route, but I was able to convince them that we needed to fly down the coast and climb before we turn inland.

Crash on Takeoff.

Was not getting full power (Beyond the fact that the airport is at 13000 feet) and stalled. Should have aborted before I was going too fast. Looks like there was a control issue with the throttle.

Reset and got off the ground successfully. Used the entire runway and had to keep the nose down.

Flight Time was 5:20
Fuel used was 11,440 pounds

We were a little heavy prior to landing but received permission to make a few fly by's and then toured the local area which allowed us to get down under max landing weight.

After a nice rest in Santiago Chile we begin our next to last leg. A short 400nm run over the Andes. Looks to be a bit of a challenge to get the altitude needed to cross the peaks.
