Welcome to the 99th flight event across the GUNNER DOWNUNDER series. This flight will be conducted in and around the naval port city of San Diego, California , and is again guaranteed to give you more of the unique and challenging flight experience that you have come to expect from Gunpilot’s flight events.
Gunpilot welcomes you all, whether your a seasoned campaigner on our Challenging Flights, or a newcomer to our events. This flight will have us tackling some difficult landings, a glide with a twist, an aircraft carrier landing, and some really low flying towards the end of the route. Hold on tight folks, this one will test your flying skills in the Grand Caravan.
Also, this is the penultimate fliying event out of Gunner Downunder’s server that will be dished up on a regular weekly schedule. Next weeks event (100th in the series) will be the last scheduled event, with adhoc events being scheduled sporadically from there on out.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Cessna Caravan as all landing and other challenges built into flight are
tailored for this aircraft specifically
Turn Damage mode off as you will most likely suffer at least hard
landings if not full on crashes
Bring plenty of Duc Tape for running repairs
Crash Helmets are optional, Prayers are advisable
Embrace “SLEW” as it will be your friend by the end of the flight
Practicing to make Caravan landing approaches at IAS of between 40-50knts max will see you nailing difficult landings with ease and precision.
If you are new to these Gunner Downunder Challenging Flights, ensure you download the Caravan mod which can be found in the add-ons-and-downloads channel (mod is pinned to the top RHS of this channels screen) in Gunpilot’s Server. Download and extract into your Community folder and you will have the real life SUPPER 900 kit that is installed by Texas Turbine Coversions in the USA. Improved performance both in the air and on the ground.
Make it easy on yourself to navigate around the route and accurately pinpoint the exact landing areas by downloading and using the free “LittleNavMap” s/w you can get on the web - you will never open the standard sim VFR Map again once you have tried this fantastic app that integrates seamlessly with MSFS2020.
