Description
After lunch, we boarded VH-ICE again and took off from Dongara’s runway 18 at 2:20pm, climbing to 9,500 feet. We monitored blood oxygen levels and pulse rate using a special finger-clip gadget. Andrew had flight planned to track direct over RAAF Base Pearce, and then turn right to head south west to Observation City at Scarborough on the coast, before heading south to Kwinana and Jandakot. However, just before reaching RAAF Base Gingin, we were instructed by Air Traffic Control to instead take a coastal route to Jandakot. We reached the coast just south of Two Rocks at 3:07pm and turned south along the coast, flying west of Yanchep, Mindarie Keys, Hillarys Boat Harbour, Fremantle Port and then headed inland from the Kwinana Power Station towards Jandakot.
