Puerto Escondido to Puebla October 2014

Weather and Flight Plan

The sky was clear and the weather was mild. I filed a VFR plan to Puebla at 10,500' for one hour and 50 minutes. I ordered fuel and paid in cash.

The Flight

Takeoff: 9:33 am   Landing: 11:24 pm   Duration: 1 hour 51 minutes

I followed an approximate course to user waypoint MR102 18°21.6' -98°34.2'. For future flights I created the waypoint MXMTN 17°12' -97°58.8' to avoid high terrain. It is possible to make this flight without climbing above 10,500'.

We witnessed another ash explosion on Popo in the air and again when on the ground at Puebla.

At Puebla

I refueled and paid in cash this time. I filed a VFR flight plan for Brownsville, called Brownsville Customs, and turned in our visas.

Next Puebla to Brownsville.
