Hi folks.
The Cargo Dispatch of May 2011 is different from the ones before regarding number of flights and the flights themselves. This only applies for the International Cargo Dispatch, but I hope those of you making these flights have fun.
To give you a small look inside what to expect I decided to take some pictures of two legs, although I forgot to take pictures of the arrival to Tokyo Narita
OK, here we go:
We are taxiing to RWY 20L at Guangzhou (ZGGG) for our departure to Kansai (RJBB).

Due to the short leg from Guangzhou to Kansai we could select flaps-20 and de-rate thrust to FLEX 57°. Nevertheless this all results in following v-speeds: V1 155, Vr 165 and V2 173 knots. We can expect a takeoff weight of over 530000 lbs. Currently it reads 531100 lbs.

Here we go. We are climbing out and heading to Pingzhou VOR to join airway B330 to CH (Cheung Chau) near Hong Kong.

The sun is rising and after I took this picture FS9 crashed due to the 'well known' OOM (out of memory) effect. I owe the designer of Guangzhou scenery a big thank you for that. Funny thing is, it only happens if I depart from there.

OK, after rebooting FS9 and reloading the flight it happened that we crossed Chek Lap Kok Airport first.

And some night impressions from the scenery near Hong Kong.

Old Kai Tak Airport

After passing CH we joined on airway A1 and flew out over the sea until we turned over ELATO more to the north to get to Japan.

About two hours later we already were flying over Japan this time on airway V54 from HKC to TAE. According to the elapsed time this picture must have been taken near TAE (Oita).

Half an hour later we were already in descend for an approach to RWY 24L.
[attachment=3663]
We were not the only aircraft around as we had 'company' traffic to our left bound for Osaka: Tradewinds 1030 on approach.

A FedEx was departing from Kansai.

Next we are already turning to final and the gear is still coming down.

On final RWY 24L:
[attachment=3668]
Kansai Airport seems to be busy with aircrafts from all over the world.
[attachment=3669]
Clear of the runway and now lets taxi to the Cargo ramp.
[attachment=3670]
The marshaller is doing his job.
[attachment=3671]
Parking brake set and engines shut down:

[attachment=3673]
Now it is time for the ground handlers to do their jobs...
[attachment=3674]
We will take a break now and head over to Osaka and join with the crew from TCA1030.
Next flight is scheduled to depart in about 8 hours from now... An even shorter one.
