Flight plan#

Leg 1: RAI -> ka_south (arrive @FL065 at 14:45 UTC | 13:45 LT) - Note: Holding pattern until 15:07 UTC

Leg 2: ka_south -> ec2 (cloud top, ~FL065-FL030), 180 kt - Note: Communication with ATR (F-HMTO) via 123.45 MHz to coordinate start of common leg and cloud information

Leg 3 (Start 15:25 UTC): ec2 -> ec1 (via mp1) - porpoising between cloud base and cloud top - 180 kt - Note: Be at mp1 at 15:37 UTC | 14:37 LT for satellite overpass

Leg 4: ec1 -> ka_north (to de-conflict with F-HMTO)

Leg 5: ka_north -> ec1_west (coordinate with F-HMTO when arrival at ec1_west)

Leg 6: ec1_west -> ec2_west (via mp1_west) - estimated FL055 (1000 ft below F-HMTO to de-conflict)

Leg 7: ec2_west -> ka_south (to de-conflict with F-HMTO)

Leg 8: ka_south -> ec2_east (coordinate with F-HMTO when arrival at ec2_east)

Leg 9: ec2_east -> ec1_east (via mp1_east) - estimated FL055 (1000 ft above F-HMTO to de-conflict)

Leg 10: ec1_east -> RAI (de-conflict with F-HMTO for corridor out)
