My Arm Hurts After Laparoscopy

Above the snowy France

Sometimes it's very quiet ... No less than 10 days without flying (4 being so off). I think this is the first time this has happened to me since I was hired here 8 months! So the blog was quiet too.

The other night, around midnight, my name is captain for organ theft, but the departure was not until 5:30 the next day. In fact, we go to Perpignan, which does not open at night (even for the transport of body). The doctors were late, we took off at 6:55 am.

Snow appeared on approaching the Massif Central:

It is covered by approaching Perpignan:

are drilled on the sea, and here we are in the final 33:

It is hosted by the Canigou, which is in full sun

After a good breakfast in the airport, advantage is there to be hot to wait for the doctors, because the plane, its should curdle! Here we go again in the other direction ...

Stables at 240 (24,000 feet or 7200 meters).

Snow, snow and more snow ...

Roundtrip mechanical

There are missions that are especially nice, for example when going to settle on a major airport like Amsterdam and its six runways, or when we cross the half Europe, or when it connects four or five steps.

And then there's the less exciting, such as when an airplane takes to Blois, where they are maintained. This was the case that day, when I was called about 8:30 am for a departure in the late morning, depending on the weather at your destination. Take Flight finally to 11 hours.

Weather in Blois is not extraordinary, therefore we decided to do the procedure. In reviewing the vertical beacon at 1700 feet, it comes out of the clouds with a superb visual field. As we are alone in the circuit, I suggest to my captain to integrate myself downwind for a visual approach. He nods, and prevents our intentions for me to integrate downwind.

Once installed, on file at our hotel, or we will have rooms in order to increase our max amplitude and power into a body from the beginning of the night if necessary. Excellent breakfast (As usual) at the restaurant of the hotel. I take the salad with foie gras, which is huummm ... In the afternoon, while I am resting in my room watching a series on my computer, we learn that the mechanics need a piece that will happen tomorrow morning, and we will sleep there so what evening. The aircraft is ground, so we took advantage, going to make a movie, then bowling.

The next day we go for a cost flight to Paris. Approaching the Paris region, we observe the very sharp edges of the layer.

Nearing Defense Here are a few clouds.

The loc 07 of Bourget takes us into the hair cell-hungry:

In the final, play of light: a part of the northern suburbs is to the sun, the other is in shadow.

My record number of Passengers

Recently, a two-day mission took me to Spain. Since the last flight the QNH was well put together, and when I boarded the plane for the pre-flight, the altimeter indicated anyway - 710 feet!

unusual feature of this flight: I'll beat my personal record of passengers carried. They will be 9 on board, 11 people total in the plane. It will seem ridiculous to pilots of large, but it seems to me a lot! To

better, I will switch companies, since 9 passengers is the statutory maximum for our Beech. Despite all these passengers, it was still more than three hours of battery life, enough to see it coming!

On the road it is on top, until a hole near Clermont Ferrand, Auvergne reveals no snow.

Then we approach the Mediterranean and Perpignan ...



And on our right, you can admire Pyrenees

the approach of Girona, we are in contact with Barcelona, who brings down to level 60, we must maintain up to 20 nm of Girona. Passing 20 NM, I ask to continue the descent. No answer (and nobody talks about the frequency). Waiting a few seconds, then I ask for more. Still nothing. Third attempt, without success.

My captain tries his hand, then try on COM 2, nothing changes. I try to call Girona, which is not responding. I remember, and finally, we meet Girona. I request a visual approach for us to manage our descent as we want. And it arises under the brilliant English sunshine.

After a night there, it starts late afternoon. No fewer than six 737 of Ryanair are the parking (there were five previous day). The mountains appear to us somewhat veiled ...

On returning to Paris, we see a beautiful sunset.

My captain raises the Beech at the Paris night, with 15 knots at 60 degrees right of the axis, and after a turbulent finale.

Hollow Mission

The other night I slept for barely half an hour when the phone rang. Departure at 23:30. 22:30 I arrive at Le Bourget in I welcome the rain has stopped, for I the idea of the pre-flight under the deluge does not enchanted me.

After Operations briefed the flight with my captain, I return the plane to take the ATIS. The two altimeters, the setting of the last flight of the aircraft: 1018. ATIS passes a QNH of 999, or 19 hpa lost in less than 36 hours. So I have to turn, turn, turn to set the two altis. In the photo below, taken from the right seat Beech, one sees the Citation of my box, which starts in flight shortly after us.

Physicians were late, we took off at midnight every round, and while climbing on radial 247 of BT, the VOR Bourget, my captain told me suddenly: "Hop, look, the Eiffel Tower sparkles ! And presto, a small photo:

Less than an hour later, we're down to Bordeaux. Far ahead, there are a large tower-cumulus ... We reach for VAGNA enquiller ILS 23, and here we are in the final.

My captain did a kiss on the runway drenched Mérignac (It is this strong captain!) And we will park at the Lima, next to a Mustang pitit English (Yes, that's all pitit a Mustang, it carries twice as many passengers as us. No, no, I'm not jealous at all ... :-))

In Mérignac, the comfortable couches of the general aviation terminal we welcome (No no, I will put not the picture of me in my sleeping bag, no need to stress!). A few hours later, here we go again, after a difficult deciphering the TEMSI (there are lines in every sense, we understand nothing :-))

ATIS Bourget passes a QNH of 986, or 13 hpa lost in 6 hours, and more than 30 hpa less and a big forty hours ! One application is to how our altimeter, and I try on my own (given that the captain is used by the PA!): It goes up to 950 hpa ...

On our right the day try a breakthrough ...

But it's still dark when we arrive in the final 27. I flew back to the hand, because it's more fun when it's windy and full through the runway is wet. I finished by asking the Beech in sweetness (given the conditions, I was first surprised, but it was pretty sweet!), Following an approach that I awake!

In early afternoon, at Le Bourget QNH is 970 hPa, 29 lost in 15 hours, and nearly 50 hpa in a little less than 48 hours! I found a QNH of 961 last night in the field of military Culdrose, in the county of Cornwall, England. Depression really hungry!

When we transport of organs is carried out flights that are not defined, not planned in advance. It is therefore advised at the last moment, and mostly at night. We have the pleasure of being woken by the phone, it can be as midnight to 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. As a volunteer firefighter, I usually (and the ringing of the phone is sweet music compared to the shrill sound of the beep).

That evening I went to bed at 22 o'clock. When the phone wakes me up, I look at the time projected on the ceiling by my alarm clock: 3:10. So I slept about five hours, which is not so bad. 3:30, arrive at Le Bourget. I take my bag in the trunk, passes the post-inspection filtering (PIF) in welcoming the two agents. The aircraft is parked in front of operations. I open the door, I got in, I put my bag and ... my phone rings.

is my captain.

- Olivier ... Where are you?

- At Le Bourget, I just get on the plane.

- Ha ... Well, the mission is aborted.

- Super ...

I hung up, I take my bag, I get off the plane and shut the door. I meet another captain Beech happens to go with the other King Air, get another body in another city. And I leave my house. At 4 o'clock I'm in my bed. At 5 o'clock the phone rings: "Oliver, we take off at 6:30!" Here we go again!

We're going to Lyon, and given the hour, it will not Bron and Saint-Exupéry as usual. I send a mail to my pilot friends Lyon, and I take the car.

As I said in my previous post, one often has the opportunity to enjoy the sunrise during the return flight missions organs. It's much rarer to see him go up on the branch, but this was the case Saturday morning:

It is 7:45 when I ask the Beech on runway 16 at Lyon-Bron, who is still self-info at that early hour. The doctors are leaving, and we'll walk to the Kyriad for eating breakfast. Then returns to the general aviation terminal where we joined a friend Pilotlist. He takes us to see the planes in the hangar, then we'll take a glass plate in the restaurant field, where we joined a couple of pilot friends.

We return to the terminal, where we are joined by two other friends, and it takes all these people visit the aircraft. We're at that point 8 on board, and there is still room for three passengers! Doctors call, and I must take leave after that time very pleasant: it's much nicer to wait in talking with friends that sleeping in an airplane while cold!

Planes slight turn in 16, but the controller is proposing to take off at 34 to save time. He lengthened the tail wind for our departure. One of my friends just after we shoot the rotation:

During the return flight I AM (Pilot Monitoring). I take the ATIS Bourget, and I told my captain: "Done ugly!" In Lyon, we had beautiful sunshine and 18 degrees, but at Le Bourget, it is only 12 degrees, overcast, there are 2000 meters visibility and mist! I take some pictures when we arrived on the ILS 27, and in fact, the visibility is not great.

was almost hard to see the south doublet Roissy!

It improves a bit in coming short final, although we still have a bit of cloud on virtually glide just before the A1 motorway.

late night

bed early (22 hours) in anticipation of the likely night flight. 3:10, the phone rings. 3:35, I arrive at Le Bourget and I prepared the aircraft. 5h, and off course for Britain.

Before the start of descent, I take the ATIS Quimper, which states that the glide is HS. A few minutes later, we reported Brest. This will be a LOC 28. The latest news and gives the SCT006 OVC016. We leave the couch, and I see pretty quickly ramp. Then I do not see her. Then I see her again. A few clouds between us and play the track. My captain asks the King Air 28 and we're going to park behind the RTA Britair of which embeds its last passengers.

there, I am pleased to cross Ronan, a young private pilot ordinated in Quimper, and future air traffic controller. We discussed a bit in the terminal, then I suggest he visit the Beech and made to sit in the left seat, while I sit with mine, right.

Then the doctor returned with the body, and here we go again, on a course that takes us almost vertically from the airport of Saint-Brieuc, on which the other must be in Beech stop .

ZOOMON a bit. Before us, just before the nose of the plane, Saint-Cast-le-Guildo and the peninsula of Saint-Jacut sea, and behind St. Lunaire and Dinard.

A little further, the tip of the Well, San Suliac, and Rance. I even saw the bridge over the N176, which connects the Ille et Vilaine and Cotes d'Armor, and I often borrowed to go to Paris and back, when I lived in Britain.

Once again, the west-facing configuration in paris. After a long round of the Paris region from the north, we are guided by De Gaulle to intercept the ILS 27 at Le Bourget. Under our wings, we admire the fall colors.

This photo (not taken against the prettiest, but I was busy before, so could not photograph) is taken just north-east of Meaux (seen above left), near Lizy on Ourcq, where the Marne (pictured) and the channel Ourcq (not seen but which is right) graze.

Bottom right, the houses belong to the village of the Isles Meldeuses (In case you have not noticed, I like to look for specific places where I took the pictures and names Sites photographed!)

Before the time change, it was common for the return flight missions are undertaken in body daily. It will be less the case this winter, but this time, thanks to the relatively late start, I have slept about 5 hours this night, which is not too bad, and the return was made entirely in daylight, the sun, which is nice.
