Great trip;
after Bex LSGB you should absolutely go to LSVE, it’s a “special” airport, I’ll let you discover it.
It’s available in the game but not in Skyvector
Croix de Coeur is LSYQ and is not an “official” airfield as it’s an altiport which requires a special right for landing. Anyhow thanks for sharing this airfield (which is not even in the official Swiss VFR maps) !
What a beautiful flight. just attempted it and flew low level through the valleys… a bit too low at some points though so the flight ended a bit early
Happy you liked it, and yes too low and the flight will end soon
As rule of thumb, the flight in such areas is done like that:
You should fly on the right of the valley
You should set yourself some “key positions” which you can see it’s open enough such that you can do a 180° turn, if at the key position you see you cannot reach further good key position, then you turn back, take some altitude and try again
Crests should be traversed at 45° of the crest such that you can easily turn back if you see that for example there is bad visibility on the other side, or that your altitude is not good enough.
Keep in mind that in real life you may have cables which are hardly visibles.
In real life, there is also zones where you could find others flying with parachutes, or others, which may not have a flarm.
LSVE is super!
Now try this: take the piper cup to LSVE. Begin at the runway, hold the brakes. Switch off the engine!
Now start rolling, at the end of the cliff, start flying. See how far you can make it down into the valley.
Lots of fun in multiplayer.
Well I landed a couple of time in real life in LSGE, next time I could pick you on board (if you don’t have a PPL) or do a small real life trip with 2 planes
