| Turning northeast after receiving the signal from Lusaka VOR | Above the haze at 30000 ft | |
|
|
|
|
| Lake Kariba to the southeast | 40000 feet and climbing | |
|
|
|
|
| Finally leveling out at FL500 | 3 minutes later it's already time to descend | |
|
|
|
|
| Getting darker all the time as I continue the descent towards Lusaka | ||
|
|
|
|
| Less than 50 nm out, getting ATIS for FLLS | Engaging autothrottle below 10000 feet | |
|
|
|
|
| It's pitch dark: instrument flying from now on | Slowing to 200 KIAS for the ILS intercept | Arriving in Lusaka, maintaining around 2000 ft AGL |
|
|
|
|
| Turning to intercept the localizer... | ...and lowering the landing gear | On the glideslope and passing the outer marker for runway 10 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Disconnecting autopilot for the landing | Middle marker | Touching down... |
|
|
|
|
| ...and using spoilers and reverse thrust to decelerate | Taxiing along runway 10 again... | ...but a UN plane is blocking the first turn off point |
