Gunpilot's Challenging Flights - Austria 'Glides & Slides'

Welcome to the Austrian Alps everyone, and the 41st flight event in the Gunpilot’s Challenging Flights adventure series. This challenging flights event is located in the mountainous region of the always spectacular Austrian Alps, and is again guaranteed to give you more of the heart pounding and sweaty palms experience that you have come to expect from Gunpilot’s flight events.

This flight will have us gliding and sliding all over the planned route as there are 4 glide challenges, some being Idle only, some being Deadstick in the air and 1 being Deadstick with a silent roll takeoff. Recommend thinking about lightening your fuel load for this event. As well as the glide legs, we will also be landing in carparks, along ridge tops, on top of mountains, and on a dam wall. And watch out, there are some pylons thrown in just for good measure.:rofl:

:notes: There may be some music before the event starts and during flight, if you want to adjust the volume just right click on the RYTHM name tag in the list of people in the Radio Comms and you can adjust to your preferred volume level :headphones:

Discord Server: https://discord.gg/rpsHtJXy74 1 (click on “#gunpilots-events”)

Voice Chat accessed by clicking on Comms Radio

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.

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.
