Today's flight is short, a 1 hr hop to Rosario City. We will be taking 5 people and full baggage on board. Because it's a short flight, we'll fill the tanks just to the half, more than enough! With 6 people on board plus baggage, we get closer to the MTOW, actually 400 lb below it. Flaps, one notch. We'll be using this setting though AEP's runway is long enough (B737's operate here). A direct route from the beginning, it'll take us over Campana, Zárate and San Nicolas while Paraná River comes along us. Once we are all aboard, and clear to push back and start from the VIP spots the journey begins. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_17-0-4-423_zpsdda2c508.jpg Engine one is alive, soon after number two. A short taxi leaves us at holding point of runway 31. Even though we have tailwind, it's just 3kt well below the 10kt limit. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_17-0-51-830_zps796c75be.jpg Soon after we are airborne, leaving Argentina's main city. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_17-6-21-888_zpsc67a23b6.jpg On our right hand River Plate's delta. We can see below the coast of San Fernando and Tigre. That's where all sport boats are, beautiful place ;). Far away we can see Paraná River. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_17-9-5-767_zps940ccd2a.jpg Climbing to cruise, passengers enjoy the landscape... Quite boring as it is very flat, but the river adds some charm to it. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_17-12-8-626_zps02039875.jpg Right below us, Campana. We are getting closer to the state limit with Santa Fe. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_17-18-22-785_zps8e5592f5.jpg Right hand, Paraná River. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_17-20-11-467_zps361d56f9.jpg We start descending to 2300ft, following IAC N°2. This chart describes a 12nm DME arc, until we intercept runway 19 localizer. Once again we'll have tailwind, but it's 6kt so no problem. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_17-33-19-733_zps06802131.jpg While we descend we can see Rosario City and its harbour. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_17-47-47-506_zps93f846b3.jpg Thanks to the DME arc we get a great view of the city. You can clearly see the riviera, the docks and Flag Memorial (that boat-shaped thing with the Argentinean Flag). http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_17-51-49-282_zpsb2727779.jpg Soon after we intercept the localizer and we are on final approach. The approach was smooth and great, but on the short final the plane "inflated" so we had to push down quite heavily, and we got a not-so-hard landing. Next time I'll be more careful on the winds... http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_18-9-3-919_zps9a834269.jpg Landing roll was fast as we had to vacate the runway for a Dash8 that had to take off. We get to platform quickly, shut the engines down and then we go to the city to drink a coffee while we see the most beautiful Argentinean women. (It's known here that Rosarian girls are really pretty, and it's true :P ) http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/mau992/2014-3-24_18-8-16-625_zps8381effa.jpg Thanks for reading! Saludos!
