Quarantine Freedom Flight CYMM to CYEG

Bob Roberts wrote to say he would love to see a flight from Fort McMurray Alberta (CYMM) to Edmonton International (CYEG). The reason for the request is that he wants to get a real good look at our flight planning. Well, we do that in this video and there's a lot more information about the reasons for the choices we make. As an added bonus, we encounter total IFR conditions at our destination but our fearless pilot chooses to land anyway in thick fog! The video is 1 bag of popcorn plus 36 minutes long; 1080p HD and is free to download and use with no attribution necessary. Enjoy!

Hi Father Dane and Father ludovic looking forward to seeing a great flight as ever

Hello father, is programming the FMC/CDU hard, or at Keats complicates to learn? Cause it looks really hard to remember😂

Another great flight & explanation :) .. I also have an OC setup, although mine's only a single seat. I use XP11 with the Zibo 737. I have an A/T issue though. For some reason, when I switch on the A/T, it immediately disconnects again. Any ideas please why this happens? I'm not sure if there's some information missing in the FMC. The V speeds don't auto calculate either. (Not sure if all FMC's should auto calculate or it's a feature that's airline dependant?).

Hello, you should try my freeware scenary Oradea in Romania Transilvania😁

That was interesting, I enjoyed the detailed planning explanation at the beginning and how to apply it. I only lost a drop of. Champagne on landing 🤣
