:volcano: Highlights

  • Achmad Yani (WAHS): Departure over Semarang’s coastal plain.

  • Borobudur Temple Complex: Historic overflight beneath twin volcanic peaks.

  • Sumbing & Sundoro: Twin cones rising through morning haze.

  • Slamet Volcano: Dominant western sentinel of the Java Spine.

  • Tunggul Wulung (WAHL): 15‑minute break stop — ideal regroup and photo point.

  • Cibeureum (WICM): Arrival over misty highlands — lush terrain and full‑stop finish.

:compass: Navigation Notes

  • Maintain 12,500 ft VFR for terrain clearance over Sumbing and Slamet.

  • Expect light turbulence near Slamet due to thermal activity.

  • Ideal for formation discipline and ridge‑line photography.

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