MYNN - MTPP
We are taking off from Nassau on a beautiful sunny day with absolute clear skies.
The sim even has a pushback boy to help us start our taxi. OK, you should not have started up your engine before the push back. This guy’s got some courage to stand so close to a moving propeller:
To my surprise, Nassau had ATC coverage on Vatsim, and it was a quite pleasant conversation with the gentleman on the other side of the radio. The airspace around Nassau had very little traffic, which allows ATCs and pilots to have more casual conversations over the radio (something you can’t do on busy airports because of radio congestion).
The flight over the Caribbean was breath-taking:
The approach to Haiti from the west gives you a nice glimpse over the mountainous terrain of the island. Remember, this island is split between two countries: Haiti to the west, and the Dominican Republic to the east:
I’ve never been to Haiti before, but the final approach looked totally legit to me:
The Toussaint Louverture International Airport is a single-runway airfield with a small terminal. The views of the mountain range to the north looks quite nice. Reminds me of the Juan Santamaria Intl Airport in Costa Rica:
