Welcome to the 56th flight event in the Gunpilot’s Challenging Flights adventure series. This challenging flights event will be in the Land Of The Long White Cloud (New Zealand) , 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 week we fly the majestic South Island of New Zealand, flying through mountains, valleys and snow/ice fields. Along the way we will be landing on mostly off field challenging landing areas in the mountains, as well as undertaking some distance and precision deadstick glides, aerobatics, and even some water skiing if your up for it.
This flight will be fairly laid back, unlike our Maori Bro above 
and I have toned down the landing challenges from extreme to “manageable” as we have the exciting launch of the new WHATS THE PLAN? event series making its grand debut the following day on Saturday 16th October @2300UTC. The last thing we want to be for this premier event is to be still recovering from a hard flight the day before.
When: Friday 15th October @ 2300 UTC
Where: South Island, New Zealand
Flight Duration: Approx 3hrs (depending on numbers attending)
Aircraft: Cessna Grand Caravan (as always as flight planned around Caravan performance)
Server: SOUTH EAST ASIA

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.
