Lukasz Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Let me add, that a minimum reasonable flight level enroute is FL160 (terrain + 2000ft for mountainous area), while FL180 - FL200 would be optimal (possible mountain waves and turbulence closer to the peaks).

Lukasz Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Some pics from today's fly-in. Weather was very interesting, with clear skies on the eastern (downwind) side of Andes and low, thick overcast on the other side. That's exactly the type of weather I'd expect to see with western winds, moving warm and humid air from over the ocean, around the mountains and into cold upper layers of atmosphere, as they were today and XSquawkbox weather system reflected this perfectly. REX cloud textures have further topped the experience.The highest peak in whole Andes mountain range, the highlight of today's trip:Three-point landing in Santiago 8) Tailwheels & taildraggers ftw!
