Stillwater 13,922 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 It looked so sunny when we started in Kamloops... ... and the view from Mara´s Lookout should also be fine (you can spot the hut at the end of the road under the DC-3). But Three Valley Gap looked already suspicious, ... ... and the city of Revelstoke was already hidden. This is the moment, when a usual flight would come to a go-around... ... but the common simmer goes a bit further ! At least I saw the runway... But with 3 approaches it was impossible to land. So I had to divert to a place with instrument supported landing, in fact the most suited one was Kamloops, again. Not Ryan Air style to have so much fuel on board, but in this case a good practice.
