Good day everyone! Our next flight is going to be Indonesia (WAJC) - Dabra and arrive at (WAKM) - Komopa. 2020-09-26T06:00:00Z and 2020-09-26T18:00:00Z. Same event twice so as many people can enjoy the flight . Thank you Gustavo Peres for hosting this event!
We depart from (WAJC) - Dabra and arrive at (WAKM) - Komopa, Indonesia. This flight will be around 1 hour and 19 minutes long in pure flight time and goes over 157 nm of beautiful indonesian land.
I have included a flight plan as well, to input the flight plan after downloading it, when your on the map in the sim you looking for the “LOAD/SAVE” button at the bottom (or you can press space by default) and then input the .pln file
If you zoom in on Komopa you can’t see an air strip. It looks like all trees. Maybe I’m looking at the wrong location on Google Maps. Dabra shows up 150 miles to the east of where Komopa shows on Google Maps. Bugalga Airstrip shows up as well as one named Bandar Udara Enarotali. (wasn’t bandar Udara the name of the character in Guardians of the Galaxy?)
My flight instructor went on to become a MAF pilot and spent some time flying in Papua New Guinea. The challenge was more than the airstrips where you land uphill on a 500’ hillside (OK, maybe longer). You also spent time circling until there was a break in the clouds so you could sneak through on a visual to land. Sometimes you turned back or on to the next stop.
If the weather is not suitable live, I’ve made a nice theme suitable for the area “Hot & Humid”. Some nice big cumulus clouds and a little precipitation, sitting just on the hills.
You’re very welcome to use it for your tropical flights.
