Flew the dc6 from CYYT to CCH4
Did a manual VFR flight from John Wayne / Orange County (KSNA) to Santa Monica (KSMO), crossing directly over Los Angeles International (KLAX) following the “Los Angeles Special Flight Rules Area” guidelines for VFR aircraft.
In real life you’d have to tune into the LAX tower and get permission; the sim doesn’t implement this little quirk of FAA world so I just stayed on flight following. It was a clear day; windy but consistent, and made for a lovely little trip up the coast in the Flight Design CTSL, which remains one of my favorites for VFR.
(If you can’t live without an autopilot on the CTSL, there’s a mod out there that upgrades the little Aero GPS unit to a fake G3X. You can control autopilot on screen – in zoom! — or via bindings.)
Feels weird to just fly over LAX roughly mid-field! But hey, that’s where the landing/taking off planes aren’t as long as you’re at the correct altitude.
Dangit, now that I check I was not at the right altitude.
Did a long endurance flight with the dc6 from CCH4 to CYFB to reach where I started the Canada DC6
We have one more day until November starts up
I flew a de-brief flight to 8A3 Livingston. Unfortunately the winds had me land 21… RWY 3 is over the plateau and is AMAZING. Regardless, it was an awesome flight and here are the obligatory “Real life -vs- Sim” shots.
just finished my longest trip in caravan, 714nm UHSS → UHPP in 4 hour rush at 18000feet , would like to reach USA / alaska beforer tomorow
A great 4h40m flight from Napa, CA (KAPC) to Teterboro, NJ (KTEB) in our beloved Longitude, on our way to Milan! Sim remains stable since the driver rollback, and we shot the ILS to runway 06 in a GORGEOUS fall evening. No wind, clear skies, and lovely night visuals, with a butter landing to boot! Welcome to Teterboro!
