MP013 MHRO-MMUN - CBreuer - 05-30-2010
Again we had a very nice flight yesterday from Roatan to Cancun. The flight lasted for nearly 3 hours, but it was nice flying anyhow. Good luck we are almost all were flying rather fast aircrafts. Vic was flying the Duke, Pär the Kodiak, Stefaan the Conquest and I flew the B200 once more.
During this flight I was struggling with the autopilot of the Super King Air as it had its own mind. I was not able to follow the GPS route and so I flew the first leg to MHLC by hand and therefore followed Stefaan as first.
Stefaan approached to MHLC before me and I followed behind. We all made approaches to RWY 24.
Then I was able to make use of the autopilot again, but I had to follow a heading with bearing in mind that I had to select a heading with an offset of 90 (ninety) degrees!
Nevertheless from MHLC we headed to MHTE and Stefaan was not able to locate the runway. I also had problems finding it and so I opened AFCAD2 and saw the relative position of the runway and flew into that direction and then I found the runway, but was not able to make an approach to it as the B200 has not very good STOL capabilities:
A helicopter would be my first choice for an approach to this airfield.
Then again we flew some time over water to reach the next intersection.
We also encountered different weather scenarios along the flight with different visibility and sometimes with clouds reaching down to the surface. All in all the weather was quite impressive.
Then after three hours of flying time we arrived at Cancun and I landed with a greaser, but unfortunately I missed the first exit as I 'forgot' to hit the brakes and also didn't make use of the prop reverse.
So taxi time was a little bit longer to get to the ramp to join Stefaan, who arrived as first. Vic stepped out sometime earlier and so only Pär was with us, but had had problems with teamspeak, or his sound card or something like this.
Ok, I hope you all had some fun and I also hope that Pär is able to solve his problems with his computer and finds some time as well to get the next flights ready before next weekend. I will keep you posted whether there will be a flight next weekend or not. But nevertheless Pär, take your time!

Nice pictures, and here are mine.
After Dep. MHRO - Roatan Intl. some good comany formation
Overview of the first T/G at MHTE - Tele
I will do my T/G outside the RWY
LOL, I think Vic will have some problem with all the trees, so I skip the T/G at MGPB - Puerto Barrios
This was much better scenery for a T/G at MZBZ - Phillip S.W. Goldson Intl.
Best to wait for a T/G and keep clear for that ship visiting MMCM - Chetumal Intl.
O/H MMCZ - Cozumel Intl.
Our Final Arr at MMUN - Cancun at sight
I MUST HIT the BREAK before coming outside the RWY (LOL, typical me)
At last, save and parked with the guys
