Once a year I take ICE to Cape Town International for her annual. This was a great day to fly in to Cape Town. Enjoy the ride with some ATC to keep you company
Hi Jude, you checking up on me. I always enjoy landing at Cape Town. The runway is super long, over 3km. I try fly as efficiently as possible so you will see two things, I ask the controller if I can ‘plan for Charlie’. That’s the second intersection which means I land deep so I don’t land on the numbers and taxi forever holding up departing traffic. Second thing is my flaps. My speed is higher than usual as I come in to approach on final, again just to be efficient. It’s too fast for full flaps, so I descend and fly just above the runway. As the speed bleeds off I then add flaps - you can see how late I put full flaps in the video. Hope you enjoying your flying and making great videos.
Let’s make a plan. That way I know your Dad will check her very very well. In fact when I bought ICE in the pre purchase inspection Damon said, ‘I would let me kids fly in it.’ Now I need to put that to the test 😁
