Part 4: to Yangon, Bangkok, Hanoi, attempting Macau
After landing, you refuel. It will not only be easier to start early the next day, but it will also lower the condensation in the fuel tank.

The aircraft is manned with 3 crew members: a pilot, co-pilot, and a flight engineer. The flight engineer is usually not necessary, but regarding the duration of the journey, his presence is comforting.
