Small sub-sonic jets at 300 kts through the Cornhusker State, on our way to the Center of the Earth (well, the geographic center of the Great 48). Actually, it's in North Kansas, but we're making a slight detour. But don't hold your breath; there's almost nothing to see there, not even in real life.
Week 35: Nebraska Stops: KMLE>K82>KLBF>KIEN Full: KMLE>KLNK>CENUS>K82>KHDE>KLBF>KGRN>KIEN FLIGHT PLAN
Flight plan in tabular form, flight maps and airport diagrams here. CRUISE Speed: 300 knots Keep it throttled back! Altitude: 3000ft VFR (using your judgment to avoid obstacles) AIRCRAFT Small* subsonic jets. *Small = wingspan less than 50 ft and less than 10 passengers. Must be capable of take-off and landing on 3,600 x 50 ft runway. Examples of suitable aircraft:
RESTRICTIONS No aircraft capable of supersonic flight (straight and level). No aircraft with more than 50 ft wingspan. No aircraft capable of carrying more than 10 passengers. WHICH VERSION, CLASSIC OR STEAM? We will be using Classic, not Steam. We will continue to use Classic in future weeks for the Great 48! until I can assure pilot security for the flight, at which point we'll include Steam in joint Classic/Steam flights, leaving no one behind! WEATHER To be decided. SCENERY Default OK. Highly recommended: FSgenesis US landclass (inexpensive payware). On sale 40% off! FTX Global 1.30 and Vector 1.20 good but optional (expensive payware). Vector users please see recommendations here. RECOMMENDED SCENERY ADDITIONS FOR FTX GLOBAL USERS You can download the whole series of freeware FTX global airport packs here.
