What to look out for on the Charts.
Note the indication for Roads, Rivers, Railways, High Tension Power Lines, Airports and built up population areas.
Note: When determining your position on the chart, don’t rely on one point of reference to suggest your position. Where possible pick up to three visual references, if available, to determine your position.
Altitude: The route can be flown up to 2,500’ to be clear of terrain. Note: there will be a requirement to fly at altitudes to remain outside of controlled airspace. Normally, ATC would provide clearance through parts of the route but in this session we will simply follow the routing and altitude restrictions.

C152 as the Asobo version has no autopilot or GPS equipment. Also, fying at 100knots, you can use the predetermined times and vectors for the wind (to be issued just prior to the event for best accuracy).
We will land at Shellharbour(YSHL) for a 10 minute break.
IMPORTANT: In the interest of keeping it REAL, please refrain from selecting inappropriate aircraft, like airliners. This only detracts from the immersion of the flight.
