Mike,

Great flying as always! Your Passenger Mile stat is really starting to stack-up.

Good to see a new log posted. I was just looking the other day at when the last new one was submitted.

You are all updated on the main page, log and pax mileage.

Thank You.

Short flight, with a terrible landing. My FO sounded as if he is going to have his back checked out :o

I have been lurking for awhile, and have started over a few times on my Captain's Log, a couple of times because of crashes on landing.
But since I greased the landing today and received applause from the passengers and my cost per mile was under $1 I thought it was time to post my Captain's Log.

Finally got the chance to get in a nice relaxed long haul 377 flight.

Almost 8 hours! Impressive. And she performed without a hitch?

What route did you fly?

Other than hitting severe turbulence after making the turn back westward towards the Andes Mountains, it was smooth flying the whole way. The airframe has a little over 660 hours on her, but the engines were all overhauled about 12 hours ago, so mechanically she was in good shape for the flight.

This was a flight into Cusco (SPZO) up in the Andes, which is one of the four legs on my normal 377 airline route. Usually the four corners of the route are KTPA, TNCM, MHTG, & SPZO. The last aircraft I was flying was a Bellanca which landed at MUSL when I ran low on fuel. Since the runway was long enough for a fully loaded 377, I just picked up the passenger route from there.

Image

I almost always fly full fuel & passenger flights in the 377 and with the exception of KTPA, makes TNCM, MHTG, & SPZO a very interesting set of airports to visit. The latter three all present challenges during take-offs and or landings, with the 377 at MTOW. :)

By far my favorite destination of the bunch, because of its unique challenges is Cuzco (SPZO) with its 10808' altitude. The final approach after making the turn at 115.60, is a beautiful decent through the valley. Getting off the ground, at that altitude and high enough to clear the turn while on the way back out at MTOW, can be a white knuckle adventure sometimes. :)
Image

Looking southward back down the valley. The 115.60 turn point, is just about where the clouds in the distance are coming over the peaks. Normally I climb to about 16,500, before making the left turn back out of the valley. The end of the very uneven and sloped runway, is just above the tip of the aircraft's tail.
