Description: In this scenic leg we dive into the Guadarrama mountain range to the northwest of Madrid, hitting the famous El Escorial monastery, the Valley of the Fallen, an ominous reminder of the Spanish Civil War, and then visit ski resorts and rock climbing meccas. As we descend on the other side of the mountains, we take a quick detour to the medieval town of Segovia with its famous Roman aqueduct. After that it’s bush flying time again until a small airstrip at the foot of the mountains.

In-Flight Entertainment: Finding interesting places to land along the way and have fun with it.

ADDONS:

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT LOADING FLIGHT PLANS: Due to the nature of how FS2020 loads flight plans, if you load the plans in the sim, it will place you on the runway. If you CHANGE your spawn location, the flight plan will either turn into a straight “DIRECT GPS” line flight, or your autopilot might not follow it. We suggest leaving the flight plan as it is, spawn on the runway, get out of the way and park somewhere nearby.

FLIGHT PLAN: final version coming soon
