Melville Hall-Le Lamentin


After spedning the night on Dominica, I taxied back out to runway 9 at Melville Hall (DOM/TDPD) and took off. After climbing to 1000 feet, I leveled off and turned to heading 185. This would set me up perfectly to enter left base for runway 9 at Le Lamentin (FDF/TFFF) in Fort de France, Martinique. After reaching Martinique I climbed to 3200 feet to avoid terrain. Less than 5 minutes later, however, I descended back to 1000 feet as I prepared to turn final for runway 9. The approach went well, albeit with a bit of turbulence, and I was soon on the ground in Martinique. It was however, one of the longest legs since reaching the Caribbean.
