The Indian Bureaucracy and our leg to Agra

I am aware that changing the plan is not the greatest idea and activating plan "C" the day before some king of nono for the Indian.

In any case we are landing in Ahmedabad, where we will have to clear custom and immigration ....I know it is going to take time and patience.

The whole process took 150 minutes, 2 hours and 30 minutes and then we had to fly to Agra with weather on the way.


we did cover at least a mile in the terminal and twice via security to go from International arrival to domestic departure


We needed to have our luggage tagged, or at least the luggage we choose to bring in


The visionary of the Indian airport


Made a quick call and the route is changed for a late arrival in Agra, both the TBM and Mustang made it by sunset, the PC12 arrived in the dark...But with good weather at Agra

We all had to dodge some weather along the way...No big deal except you are in India and the controllers communication are atrocious....been way from the Airways because of weather we are also away from the assign controller and the assign route

Been the fastest we discover as we go the frequencies and the Indian dealings...I can write a book.


This is the actual track, the flight to Ahmedabad is as planned, the next one is interesting


This is why we are looking at the weather


When we got to Ahmedabad, the weather had moved and from the air it did look ugly, a quick call to G in Florida helped us to refile a new flight plan and to avoid the weather by the south.


This is what we were suppose to fly





This is a close up of our track

After Guna, we were left alone and we had to try to find our way around weather. Delhi was so busy answering everyone but not us that we found a frequency to tell them what our plan was.. and after seeing the weather we saw behind the way to Agra.
