G'day Pilots!
Well I am back from the other side of the world and looking forward to resuming our journey around Australia!
We are journeying up into the mountains this week and once again partnering with the VA with one route featured this week.
The flight plan is now available from my OneDrive. http://tinyurl.com/novawing24-flightplans
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!
This will be a single hop with no intermediate stops.
YMER -> MSF2314 -> YCOM but there will be plenty to see in between!
