Kirkwall to Fair Isle
Posted: 03 Dec 2006, 00:10
Hi Guys,
Making my way up to the Shetlands now with an unplanned night-stop at Fair Isle.
Fair Isle in the distance and just started my descent from 2000ft
Getting a bit closer now and looking for the airfiled
Downwind lefthand
Base leg
Turning onto finals
Full flap selected
Speed decaying nicely and getting lined up
Set up nicely for landing
Port engine was running a little hot so mechanic is towing me off the runway
And has dropped the cowlings for a quick look. I'm out of hours so am waiting for transport to take me to a local B & B
I'm enjoying my little tour of the Scottish Isles and will be flying north to Sumburgh next and then on to Tingwall.
Happy flying.
Rgds
