How's the cricket going boys? OMDB - OPNH

**Highmike** · October 28th, 2009, 18:36

Down safe at OPNH.

Forget about the cricket. How's the smog?! Not an easy approach!

**Highmike** · October 30th, 2009, 13:53

Now for my compulsory stop in Allahabad. OPNH - VIAL

**Highmike** · October 30th, 2009, 16:42

Down safe at VIAL.

Surprisingly good visibility on final:

Maybe I'll miss the smog today. VIAL - VGEG

**Highmike** · November 1st, 2009, 19:27

Dang! I got all the way to Bangladesh before I realised I forgot to set the Duenna. Dang! I'll pick it up again tomorrow.

**Highmike** · November 1st, 2009, 20:54

What the heck! I'll do it now. VIAL - VGEG take two.

**Highmike** · November 1st, 2009, 23:19

Down safe at VGEG.

It got very bumpy around top of descent and I was in overspeed for 7.3 seconds. I don't know what the rule is for overspeed; I didn't crash and the Duenna was green when I pulled up.

AFAIK there is no "rule" for overspeed - a little is fine, as long as it doesn't overstress your airframe.

Cool!

Off to Bangkok. VGEG - VTBD

Not having much luck with my Cheyenne guys. It's very hot here today and I had a system crash. I've set external fans and air conditioning, so I'll start this leg again. I'm having connection problems too, so the Duenna is behaving strangely - I'm getting results but I'll have to check out my connection with my service provider.

Anyhow, VGEG - VTBD
