Welcome to the 11th flight event in the Gunpilot’s Challenging Flights adventure series. This challenging flights event is located in and around Hong Kong, taking in the New Territories, Lantau Island, Kowloon and Macua as well as the island of Hong Kong, 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.

We depart from the Hong Kong International airport on Lantau island and get stuck straight into 2 back to back gliding challenges before venturing over and into the main metropolis of Hong Kong. Along the way we will be presented with landing and Caravan handling challenges that will put your piloting skills under the microscope. Well known landmarks will be included in the route and to reach the final destination we will fly over the casino mecca of Macau.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

  1. Cessna Caravan as all landing and other challenges built into flight are
    tailored for this aircraft specifically

  2. Turn Damage mode off as you will most likely suffer at least hard
    landings if not full on crashes

  3. Bring plenty of Duc Tape for running repairs

  4. Crash Helmets are optional, Prayers are advisable

  5. Embrace “SLEW” as it will be your friend by the end of the flight

  6. Practicing to make Caravan landing approaches at IAS of between 40-50knts max will see you nailing difficult landings with ease and precision.

  7. 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.
