:world_map: Route Overview

A scenic westbound leg across Central Java’s volcanic spine, linking Malang to Semarang. The route threads through Mount Kawi‑Butak, Kelud, Wilis, and Lawu, offering a spectacular panorama of Indonesia’s heartland — from rugged volcanic ridges to fertile valleys.

:volcano: Highlights

  • Abdulrachman Saleh (WARA): Departure from Malang valley, climbing toward Kawi‑Butak.

  • Kelud Crater: Active stratovolcano with visible caldera rim.

  • Wilis Range: Crossing lush highlands with deep valleys below.

  • Iswahyudi (WARI): Military overflight checkpoint.

  • Lawu Peak: Majestic cone marking the midpoint of the leg.

  • Adi Soemarmo (WAHQ): 15‑minute break stop — ideal regroup and photo point.

  • Achmad Yani (WAHS): Arrival over Semarang’s coastal plain — smooth full‑stop finish.

:compass: Navigation Notes

  • Maintain 12,500 ft VFR for terrain clearance over volcanic ridges.

  • Expect light turbulence near Kelud and Lawu due to thermal activity.

  • Ideal for formation discipline and ridge‑line photography.

  • Extended final into WAHS — perfect for group spacing and screenshots.
