Moshi Tanzania to Loitokitok Kenya

Cessna 172 SP
Waypoint	Name	Type	Frequency	Heading	Altitude	Distance	Est Gnd Speed	ETE (hh:mm)
HTMS	Moshi	Apt			2,100
Wpt 01		wpt	112.10^*	052	9,000	25	94	00:16
HKLT	Loitokitok	Apt	112.10^*	331	5,445	14	93	00:09
Totals:						39		00:25

Departure airport information:
HTMS	Moshi
LAT:3° 22.0' S		LON:37° 19.00' E	Elevation: 2,100
8/26	4,159 ft
18/36	4,856 ft

Destination airport information:
HKLT	Loitokitok
LAT:2° 54.15 S		LON:37° 31.05' E	Elevation: 5,445
14/32	3,281 ft

Will need to load approximately 35 % fuel and only 340 lb.crew/payload to achieve climb performance required to clear terrain along a straight course to the first waypoint. If that climb performance is not available will need to swing east of radial or circle to climb. Terrain is approximately 8,600 ft approximately 49 nm DME along 52° radial TO MTA.
^*Departure airport to waypoint along 52° radial TO Mtito Andei (MTA) VOR/DME on 112.10 Mhz. Signal will not be available for much of the climb.
^*User defined waypoint is at 3° 6.21' S X37° 37.85' E
^*Waypoint and destination airport are both 41.1 DME from Mtito Andei VOR/DME
Destination airport along 71° radial TO Mtito Andei VOR/DME
Route is NOT over MTA, navigational radio fix only.
Extra time in plan in case anybody wants to change planes and check scenery out some more!

Am a bit worried over that 340lb payload Robert!!
See you in Moshi.

Andy

Boy that was one steep climb!
The height of Kilimanjaro is very deceiving due to its very wide base. My little 172 ran out of breath (not to mention fuel) trying to climb it after a touch and go at the destination airport. Did anyone make it over the top?

I didn't with the C172. I switched to a Beech Kingair after my touch and go. The Kingair reached the peak, at aproximately 19,500 ft, without difficulty. Picture available uf you want.

G,day guys,
I tried it (before flight but not in multiplayer) in the C152.. had to take a very long way round + ran out of fuel.
Tried it in the Chipmonk with similar results
Good one Robert,
Regards,
Andy

Are you ready for a flight useing something with a bit more horsepower? I'm considering a southern Peru flight for October 3. You will definately need suplemental oxygen or a pressurized cabin. This might be an opportunity to try that Kingair or P-38 again. Took me 55 minutes with a DC-3 but only 30 with the Kingair!
