Welcome to the 42nd flight event in the Gunpilot’s Challenging Flights adventure series. This challenging flights event, hosted by ‘Touch & Go’ Tolstoy, is located in the northwest region of Venezuela, 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.
In keeping with the usual theme of Tolstoy’s flights, touch and goes at closely spaced airfields and off airport sites will dominate this adventure through some of Venezuela’s agricultural landscapes. You may not need an entire roll of duc tape for this flight, but if you don’t finesse all 50 touch downs, a new set of tires could be required! The last portion of the route features a series of challenging terrain, with the grande finale being a deadstick glide.

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 (and a spare set of tires)
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.
