MackSolo Team Update β Day 92 βοΈ π
We would love to share this news footage we received about Mack.
Ok, apart from the bits where Mack is talking, it's not entirely comprehensible as it sounds like a mixture of English, French, and this endearing "je ne sais quoi" else... π€π
π. Well, it's #Creole and it was filmed in the #Seychelles.
Mack is explaining the psychological challenge of long over-water legs and how it can be quite fearful for #pilots π₯ΆπβοΈ.
So what is the #challenge of long over-water legs? Quite simply, if anything were to happen to the #plane, there would be nowhere to land apart from on water...
Luckily, the long over-water stretches Mack did between Zanzibar, Madagascar, Mauritius, the Seychelles, and Socotra (Yemen) had a few islands around. It's also a busy shipping route shipping route, the waters are warm and the plane is equipped with a parachute. All these elements lower the risk in case of an emergency landing.
