LEG 14: HTKA → HRYI (Kigoma → Kigali)

Mission Type: High-Altitude Operation Objective: Operate safely in performance-limited conditions

Story: Before departure, you run your performance numbers carefully—density altitude, weight, margins. “You’ve got your numbers?” she asks. You nod. She doesn’t lean over. Doesn’t double-check. Doesn’t question. “Alright.” You glance at her. “That’s it?” She shrugs slightly. “You’ve earned that part.” Climbing out, the aircraft feels heavier in the thinner air, but everything stays within limits. As you level off, she looks ahead calmly. “This is usually where I double-check everything,” she says. You smirk. “Usually?” She nods. “Yeah.” A small pause. “Not today.”
