My first emergency flight for ASHA and it was one of the most hair raising departures I have made for a while.

While it may look straight forward, the treeline was right on the edge of the runway and I wasn't sure we would make it. I was barely above stall speed for the first 25 seconds of the departure.

Glad to be clear of the trees I lower my climb rate and gain a little speed.




Climbing away from the airfield I turn to intercept my published route.




Climbing up to cruise altitude of 35oooft.




Now in the cruise.




I tune into the ATIS as I am cleared for my descent.




Established on the ILS I lower the gear and add some more flaps.




Now fully configured for landing to runway 23.




Looking forward to stretching my legs once we park, I am sure all the emergency cargo will be put to good use.




This was a great flight, I knew the departure would be tough as the landing I made on my arrival was a nightmare - still, keeps things interesting :lol:
