Boarding at the gate in YYZ. The weather was rather good, thou there were some clouds on the sky. Visibility was around 20 miles. Wind around 8knots.
Before flight prep. took us around 15 minutes. The we requested pushback and were told to taxi to the active which was runway 23 today.
Pushed back. Testing ailerons, vertical and horizonstal stabilizers, spoilers etc. Then engine start up and we'r ready to go.
Last checks before we go to CDG
Taxiing to the active. Sheraton hotel can be seen in the background
View from my seat. Yeap I was travelling the first class.
Sitting on the runway, waiting for take off clearance.
Just got the clearance. Everything is set. Let's rooooooooooooolllllllll
Rotate !!! Taken from the FedEx facility
Positive rate of climb. Gear up. Autothrottle on. Autopilot on. Taxi lights off. Flaps up.
Climbing over the GTA.
Turning left.
Over the lake Ontario
Looking at CYYZ
Passing Toronto downtown, Toronto islands and Toronto City Center Airport (CYTZ). can you see the CN Tower and the SkyDome ?
Over the Nothern Canada
Flying with the moon
Last pic that I took before I went to sleep (in FS
)
Cloudy over Canada
At this point we are leaving Canada and North America and enter the Atlantic Ocean. It's 4:31 GMT and 2:21 local.
Cruising over the Atlantic Ocean
Low Angle shot
Sunrise over the Ocean
Nice reflection in the water of the early morning sun
Flying over the la Manche Chanel.
Descending over France.
Still descending
As we were descedning we got instructions to land on runway 27R. I decided to perform ILs as the weather was realy shitty. It was rainy, cloudy, foggy and the corssing was strong too....damn landing i gonna be quite challenging
Approaching 27R
After I input all the info about approach to my GPS, it all got messed up...GPs messed up the runways. Luckly the ILs worked properly and we ladned on the correct runway. As you can see the display in the cockpit shows the wrong runway...
About to enter the fog at 2000ft
On final - #2 for landing
Taken from the highway, as we are breaking through the very thick fog.
Dark and scarry - stormy weather in Paris. Over the t/d
Crap! ATC told us to go around because of some moron on the runway...
Just a pic that somebody took as we were begining to flare
Going around. Can you see the Air Canada Boeing 767-300? (Right side of the picture - just pushed back from the gate)
We then went around and were told to ladn on runway 27R again. And GPS messed everything up again. Good old ILS was very usufull and we landed safely, thou touching down about 1/3 down the runway, due to very strong crosswind.
Slowing down with revers thrusts, spoilers and speedbrakes.
My try at panning - failed but u get the idea of how fast she's going
Turning he last taxiway at the spee of about 45kias. Because we touched down so late it was reall hard to slow down, but we made it !!!
Taxiing over the highway
At the gate. At our left we had an Air France Airbus A320 and at our right we had an Air France Airbus A330-200
Finishing after flight report. In the background, Air France A320 just took off. Busy day at CDG.
And that's it.
Thank you for watching
