Flight S6.T1.F2 Details
This is the second of three fictitious flights, each contributing to the Berlin Airlift during the period June 1948 to September 1949.
In this flight we will remain in West Germany, departing from Braunschweig to reposition at the destination of Wiesbaden, in readiness for the third and final flight next week. Along the way, we will be loading medical supplies at three other airfields.
The boxed-airfield, EDLW (Dortmund), is for our LFS coffee-break; LFS/2 = LFS for 2 min; leg times given for zero-wind conditions.
Departure: EDVE (Braunschweig, West Germany).
Destination: ETOU (Wiesbaden AFB, West Germany).
LFS/2: EDLI (Bielefeld) and EDGS (Siegerland) are both for short (2 min) full-stops to load medical supplies.
Coffee-Break: EDLW (Dortmund) ~15 mins. Also to load medical supplies.
Cruise Altitude: EDVE to EDLW 2000 ft (QNH). EDLW to ETOU 3000 ft (QNH).
Weather: ‘Live Weather’ if possible; TBA on the day.
Flight Duration: ~92 min, plus ~15 min coffee break at EDLW (Dortmund).
Flight Distance: 213 nm.
Navigation: By Dead Reckoning with reference to a (LNM) map, DI/compass, watch/clock and ground features.
Aircraft: ‘Classic’ version of the Douglas DC-3 (C-47), or any other period SEP/MEP aircraft capable of maintaining the required cruise speed of ~160 knt/184 mph/296 kph. This implies that the performance factor, p ≈ 0.4 min/nm, is constant for all aircraft in the flight. For the Classic DC-3, this also implies the following parameter settings:
Manifold Pressure = 33”Hg; Propeller speed = 2100 rpm; Mixture = Auto Lean
Fuel Load ≈ 230 gal US (sufficient for the flight with 30 min duration as reserve)
Timing, etc
Departure time at your locale: 19:00 Z on Wednesday 15th July 2026.
Departure time in the simulation: 12:00 J at EDVE (Braunschweig).
Multiplayer: All Players.
Server: South East Asia.
