In aviation "enroute" is the phase between take-off and landing. To prevent traffic conflicts pilots make regular position reports over the radio. This blog has the same goal: a position report in regards to where-we're-at and where-we're-going on our flight with Mission Aviation Fellowship.

Financial Support
Going into missions doesn't come free, and that's why we have to raise our own support. In order to keep you up to date on our current support level without having to write a new blog entry each time, we changed the layout a little bit. You now find an instrument in the side column which is used with turbine aircraft. It shows the actual rotating speed of the low pressure compressor or fan in relation to the maximum rotating speed allowed. The instrument is used to set the throttle e.g. for take-off. If we are close to 100% we're good to leave for Papua New Guinea – the analogy is, I suppose, quite obvious.
