RE: AW Flight Number TRA004 - Aharon Dayan - 08-16-2025 Still climbing Still climbing with background view of Mount Susitna. Not sure if the lake in front of the mountain is ice or polluted as it cannot be both due to August month and Alaska does not have polluted lakes Close up SAME view of strange lake color Approaching Kuskokwim River renowned for gold deposits clearly indicates that the plane is getting close to intercept MCG Intercepting MCG and passing McGrath airport and heading to UNK Intercepting UNK and passing Unalakleet Airport renowned as home base for famous Jim Tweto and his family Approaching Unalaska Bay indicates time to descent from FL300 to 3,000 ft on way to runway 26 Passing through clouds at 7,000 ft Passing through more clouds which can be fun as long as you have radar to detect other planes Entering through more clouds CONTINUED......

Regards, Aharon RE: AW Flight Number TRA004 - JoaoPaz - 08-18-2025 Hi Aharon, nice flight! And great that you went with an TRA flight. The NAC 737 looks very sharp, too! - I just missed the cockpit action and some screenshots of it too RE: AW Flight Number TRA004 - Aharon Dayan - 08-18-2025 Joao, Thanks for viewing my flight report and for your kind words. RE: AW Flight Number TRA004 - Aharon Dayan - 08-19-2025 Am I supposed to ask for confirmation that the AW website had received my PIREP uploading? RE: AW Flight Number TRA004 - JoaoPaz - 08-19-2025 No no! I received it allrigh, Aharon. Keep sending them in just as you did. They'll be up by the end of the month. RE: AW Flight Number TRA004 - Aharon Dayan - 08-20-2025 Joao, Thanks for kind answer. That is big relief to me because I notice that other pilots' screenshot reports published on Pilot Logs (PIREPS) have received confirmation of uploaded PIREPs which puzzle me.
