Welcome to the 67th flight event across both the Gunpilot’s Challenging Flights and the brand new series Whats The Plan?. This challenging Whats The Plan? flights event will be Legless In A PORTER In Brazil , and is again guaranteed to give you more of the unique and challenging flight experience that you have come to expect from Gunpilot’s flight events.
This flight will be conducted in the jungles of the Brazilian Amazon, flying in and out of hard to find small mining airstrips and again the challenge is thrown down for all pilots to fly the route and arrive at the correct destination. We will be locating and landing at only airstrips so you will hopefully not get lost along the way. Pilots will just need to load their sim and log into Gunpilot’s server and join the Comms Radio.
Thats all!
You will then be provided with a starting airport code and the heading and distance to the first waypoint, then it will be up to your dead reckoning skills to find your way to each leg to arrive at the final destination. As you successfully identify and land at eacjh waypoint a billboard will be waiting for you which will give you the compass heading and distance to the next waypoint…very simple, but a lot of fun as you are also competing against all the other pilots in the flight to be the first to reach the final destination.
And doing all this while “blindfolded”!!!
Gunpilot has also implemented a full ATC service within these flights and ATC advice to all pilots will be available along the way, especially assisting any pilot who has struggled to find a waypoint, and reducing cockpit workload to a minimum (that being to just fly each leg). No flight plan or maps such as LNM are required to take on this challenging flight!*
All you have to do to join in with all the other pilots on the Challenging flight in Columbia is to simply click on link to Gunpilot’s server and you will find all the flight information in the # whatstheplan-events channel at the bottom of the server:
NOTE: No flight event plan is required, and LNM (Little Nav Map) does not have to be loaded – nice and simple
