| Still dark at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport at 8:40 in the morning | Engines running after pushback | Taxiing to runway 22L at dawn |
|
|
|
| Arriving at the runway | Accelerating for takeoff | |
|
|
|
| Finnair A320 taking off from EFHK | Smaller Helsinki-Malmi Airport to the left | |
|
|
|
| Climbing to 5000 feet (transition altitude) initially | 9 o'clock in the morning, setting the FMS to track the course to Rovaniemi | |
|
|
|
| Now heading northeast and passing EFHK again | Above 10000 feet and accelerating | Some of the blocky and less detailed scenery further away from Helsinki |
|
|
|
| One more aerial view of EFHK | The sky is still quite dark, so the northern lights are faintly visible above | |
|
|
|
| Passing Orimaa VOR during climbout... | ...and leveling out at 30000 feet soon afterwards | Cruising north above some rather angular-looking lakes |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Hmm, looks like the autopilot bank limiter might be on the wrong setting | Overcast clouds below now | |
|
|
|
| As I'm approaching Oulu the cloud cover breaks up a bit | ||
