G'day Pilots!
It is time to continue our Grand Tour of Australia with the eighth leg this Saturday!
The PLN file is now available at http://tinyurl.com/novawing24-flightplans
We will be returning to our regular cruise speed of 230KIAS so the King Air's are back in town! The repaint for this now available on my OneDrive with the flight plan.
After this leg the Australia Tour will be going on hiatus for a few weeks due to real life commitments, but we will be back, there is a LOT more of Australia to see!
Weather
A word of warning about weather. The Jeppesen loaded weather is nothing even close to correct for this area. In fact it renders operation out of most of the airstrips here not viable. I HIGHLY recommend a weather engine such as Active Sky (payware) or FSrealWX (freeware). Alternatively you can use the Clear Weather function of FSUIPC. If you have any questions about how to do this please ask!
Once again we will be partnering with the VA on this stretch and there will be two VA routes featured this week!
Our Flight plan is as follows:
YNAR -> (MSF2324) YWWL -> (MSF2325) YCWR -> YTMU -> YSCB
However there will be lots of sights to see in between!
A Special Thank You to OZ Flyer and the VA Management. For all participants of the group flight who lodge PIREPS during this tour a 2x Time Bonus will be applied! Please add "Part of Novawing24's Australia Tour" to your PIREP comments to be eligible.
