:world_map: Leg 26 – Volcano Traverse

Route: WADD ▸ WADE ▸ WADY ▸ WARE ▸ WARA
Aircraft: Kodiak 100 / Cessna 208 Caravan
Cruise: 160 KTAS | Altitude: 12,500 ft VFR
Distance: 231 NM | Air Time: ≈ 1 h 05 m | Break: 15 min @ WADY

:volcano: Route Overview

A dramatic volcanic ridge‑crossing from Bali to Malang. Depart WADD under morning haze, climb past Mount Agung, then traverse the Raung–Semeru volcanic corridor. The mid‑leg rest stop at WADY sits perfectly between Raung and the Tengger Caldera, giving pilots a breather before the final push toward Malang.

:compass: Navigation Notes

Segment Waypoints Terrain Remarks
1 WADD → WADE Bali coastline Maintain 4,000 ft until clear of Agung’s airspace
2 WADE → WADY Raung ridgeline Smoke columns; maintain lateral separation
3 WADY → WARE Tengger Caldera Visual descent into mist; short hop after break
4 WARE → WARA Malang approach Expect haze and crosswinds from Semeru plume

:sunrise_over_mountains: Scenic Highlights

  • Mount Agung — Bali’s dominant stratovolcano

  • Mount Raung — active crater, visible smoke

  • Malang Valley — lush foothills and final descent corridor

:sports_medal: Achievement — Volcano Explorer Badge

:gear: Operational Notes

  • Visibility: Moderate → Good; expect smoke layers

  • Recommended Formation: Loose — Kodiak lead, Caravan offset low‑right

  • Rest Break: WADY — refuel, regroup, volcanic photo ops

Hi folks, how does one actually find this event and play? Experienced “virtual” pilot playing MSF after years!

You can simply fly along with us using the flight plan above at the designated time. However, if you use the Discord link (above) you get to join in the banter during the flight - much more enjoyable. We can also assist you with any issues you might have.
