I have moved to Bolivia to complete more training flights with the ASHA Training division. This flight seemed to be going as planned until a loss of avionics left me with only my backup instuments.
Details of the flight are here

At altitude, it was about here that I lost my avionics.

No joy trouble shooting the avionics, but having been vectored to the airfield I start my decsent to land.

I over fly the field to get a look at what I am up against.

I have to go around on the first attempt to land as I was carrying to much speed.

On the runway with brakes on and engines on full reverse.
