Little reco flight - Sitka Yakutat - PC12 - decent storm.

Route Pack here including FSX plan:

I flew a BIORKA ONE departure to BKA, and on towards YAK at FL220. Was expecting an ILS DME Rwy 11 (hence the OCC in the flight planning) but ended up going for the LOC DME (BACK CRS) Rwy 29.

About 1,100lbs of fuel on departure and 500lbs left on arrival (45min +5% contingency).

Just took a couple of screenshots with the V key... Not great but it was just a test flight for my set-up. Will try some of the suggestions in the thread regarding screenshot software for FSX on another flight.
Better than nothing anyway:

Pretty rough flight most of the way due to the storm.
Hands on departure and approach, autopilot for the boring cruise.
About 1:25 block time.

Might only be two screen shots but I love both of them! Nice first flight!

Take care

Thanks Mark.
First time I used the Windows Live storage for the pics. I just realized that by clicking on Photo in the top left corner of a slide show one can see a full size version... Bigger is nicer.
Next time I'll fly the same sector but with a deck at Decision Altitude or lower, rubbish visibility, with a storm around and at night. Hopefully I'll manage to deliver the cargo in one piece ;)
And I want to take many more screen shots for the next one.

Cheers

Nice screenies :smile:

I've tried Photobucket and quite a few of the other image hosters, but have to say that after seeeing Roberts screenshots, I started using Windows Live and now think it's just about the best. Plenty of free space, and extremely straightforward to upload from your PC and use. I think the slideshow facility is one of the best aspects.
