This flight will take us to a highly contested region. Turkey and Greece had never been friends in the past and even today crossing from one country to the other isn't easy. In real life, this flight would be a challenge in getting clearances and landing permissions. But for our international community of peaceful pilots, exceptions were made, all clearances and permissions are there, let's go! Departing from LGRP (Rhodes, Greece) we will land at LGSM (Samos, Greece) LTBJ (Izmir, Turkey) LGMT (Mytilene, Greece) LTFD (Balikesir, Turkey) LTBH (Canakkale, Turkey) LGHI (Chios, Greece) LGIK (Ikaria, Greece) and finish the fligh…

It's recycling time again. This flight was first done in June 2015.

This week sees the long-awaited tour through the Alps for more powerful aircraft. We'll start at Salzburg and hit most of the big runways in the Alps, all the way to Geneva, with a detour through northern Italy. Stops are at Innsbruck, Bolzano, Samedan, Bergamo, Milan (Malpensa) and Turin. There are going to be a lot of ups and downs on this one! Flight plans (both PLN and GFP formats) Aircraft Although the plan was designed with large four-engined props in mind, it will work well for a variety of aircraft. Target cruise speed is around 220kts, ideally with decent altitude (up to 15,000ft) and climb performance. I will be flying the Avr…

This week we tour the Orkney Islands off the north coast of Scotland. This plan was originally done in 2015, but I have lengthened it slightly. We start at Inverness, with a quick stop at Dornoch before we join the original plan at Wick. Next we head north across to the islands, where our route will include the shortest scheduled flight in the world between Westray and Papa Westray, done in the RW in an Islander. After stops on just about every runway on the islands, we'll finish at Kirkwall. Flight plans and even a short narrative (from 2015) can be downloaded here. Aircraft The plan is 186nm so there's no hurry. A Britten-Norman Islander wou…

Watch out for flocks of kiwis on approach and landing. Flight Plan PC12 category P.S. Sorry this is so late, we've had a bank holiday and we're all behind!

California' Gold Part 1 The Sierra Nevada's Today’s flight will take us over some of the most breathtaking scenery of California's Sierra Nevada's. There are several high climbs of over 12,000 ft and 2 or 3 small mountain strips to contend with. There are a total of 10 stops and 396 miles to cover in 3 hrs so we will need something that can do 180 or better but maneuverable in mountainous terrain. Will do a few touch and go’s to help with time. Bring your V key and hope for good weather. Flight Plan AIRCRAFT I’m thinking RV7 or a Lance Air for better time. (A few small strips that might be tough with the LA) SCENERY…

Apparently a flight for King Airs so I'm guessing no cabbage patch landing strips. Although....

Where: AVSIM RTWR Teamspeak - Casual Flights Channel Teamspeak Server Address: ts.teamavsim.com Cross-Platform Multiplayer: JoinFS. (FSX, FSX-SE, and P3D). Sunset in Sarajevo is 19:40 local.
