G'day Pilots!
The Australia Grand Tour is on again!
We will be going a little more sedately this week with a target cruise speed of 140KIAS. The flight plan is now available from my OneDrive. http://tinyurl.com/novawing24-flightplans
This is going to be quite a short hop enjoying the sights and sounds of Coastal New South Wales.
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 one VA route featured this week!
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.
Departure Time: 2100AEST (0700 ET 1100Z)
Recommended Aircraft: GA Props that can maintain 140KIAS at 4000ft ASL. I will be flying the Carenado Cessna 337, Default recommendation would be the Cessna 208 or the Mooney Bravo.
Recommended Terrain Mesh: Orbx Freeware Australia Holgermesh
Optional: Orbx Australia (Payware) + Ozx Australia (Freeware)
Safe Skies
