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.
