Flight Plan

This flight is VFR.

Leg 1 - EGSR DET DVR LFAT
---------------------------------------------------------

EGSR to DET. We are flying under the London TMA so must stay below 3500ft between EGSR and Detling

DET to DVR When 10nm from DVR VOR we can climb up to flight level 055 - which is a really good idea as you are about to cross 22nm of water and the further you can glide in the event of engine failure the better!!)

DVR to LFAT By the time we are west abeam Bologne we need to have descended back down to 1500ft on QNH

 

Leg 2 - LFAT Cap Gris Nez DVR VRP St Marys Marsh EGSR
---------------------------------------------------------

LFAT to Cap Gris Nez Climb steadily to FL045 (to comply with quadrantal rule)

Cap Griz Nez to DVR at FL 045

DVR VOR to VRP St Marys Marsh (descend to 3500 QNH by 15nm from DVR)

VRP St Marys Marsh to EGSR descend from 3500 QNH to 2000 QNH
