Gunpilot's Challenging Flights - UNDER PRESSURE WITH WALDOPEPPER

SPLASHupd8_

Welcome to the 55th flight event in the Gunpilot’s Challenging Flights adventure series. This challenging flights event has been put together and will be lead by the esteemed WALDOPEPPER , 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.

WALDO (for short) has put together a fast paced and demanding flight event, starting off in Switzerland and flying along the spine of the Alps, finishing up just over the border in France at the famous Courchevel airport. WALDO informs me that we will be at one stage flying in the vicinity of the Matterhorn so ensure you pack your cameras.

Along the way WALDO will be providing us plenty of opportunity to throw caution to the wind and really let it rip, engaging in some hairy 'Yank & Bank" segments, touch and go’s, extreme landing challenges, and maybe a glide thrown in along the way.

While we always hear the catchcry in our flights of “NO PRESSURE!”, this flight WALDO has put together may well see some of us CRACKING UNDER PRESSURE :rofl:

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.
