2008 MAR 16 | Estreia A330 TAP na Madeira.5

2008.03.18
And another journey begins! Finishing the pushback

Once again captain Carlos Rodriguez taxiing us to line up runway 05

Checklist

At least for one time i'm not outside but inside the aircraft on taxiway C

Entering the runway for backtrack, people on the road ramps show up!

Lot's of cameras, recording the moment! Who wants to accuse themself?

If not in Dionisio ramp, perhaps in the other ramp... No one?

I clearly can see sr. Manuel and his wife.

A view over Santa Cruz city, and the well known Madeira's flag

Another overview...

Ok, facing both ramps, already in the rolling take-off. People see you in a couple minutes, now i will enjoy the take-off run and of course the take-off ;)

I'm back, we have been cleared to climb until 4000feet over the sea and visual with Madeira Island...

A couple hours later another view over the ramp...

Passing through Garajau...

Over Funchal city and where you can see the ship AIDA DIVA...

Over Lido and Praia Formosa, and somewhere in the beginning of the mountains my house...

Re-cleared for our first cruise altitude, here we go to Maiquetia... And here they are, Madeira Spotters registing the moment! From my side thanks guys ;)

In the purpose of being in the first flight from Madeira to Caracas in the A330 from TAP Portugal.
Once again, I had the great pleasure to made that flight in the cockpit.
This was only possible (and my many thanks) with the effort of Teresa Vieira and Captain Carlos Rodriguez.
The cockpit team was Captain Carlos Rodriguez and First Officer Dany Jardim, myself in the central jumpseat and Teresa Vieira in the right jumpseat, Thank you all :P
