Not much flight planning needed with 12 gals I bet.
Are you just descending to a lower pad where you have more fuel?

Hey Nuthin

There is actually still a lot of planning & flying lef to do through 2 valley systems to descend to 9,500' :p
12usgal above 10,000' & below 15,K' at around 75-80knots @ MCP is 30mins till the noise stops :ooh: from Pangboche is an 8-9minute flight back to VNLK Lukla (11minutes in crap weather) so we land with ~ 8usgals = 20mins, the legal minimum reserve ;)

Hey Peter

That ed be the Buddhist prayer flags strung everywhere in the Solukhumbu which are great for local winds, except when they are strung across a diving gulley used for escaping heavy :\
