  • GREAT 48! Grand tour of US states. Week #08: Pennsylvania - Connies!


    The second of our two Lockheed Constellation flights is through the Keystone State. (Next week we'll fly something slower through New Jersey.)



    Week 08: Pennsylvania
    KERI>KLBE>KIPT>KMMU


    FLIGHT PLAN
    • All legs use intermediate VORs; To-VOR and from-VOR tracking both advised.
    • NDBs available on some final approaches.
    • We'll break off course on approaches, direction according to surface wind.
    • ILS available at all airports if required.
    • Please check the flight plan for full details.
    Download the PLN flight plan file here.
    Flight plan in tabular form, flight maps and airport diagrams to follow.

    CRUISE
    Speed: 220 - 240 knots indicated
    Altitude: 8,000 - 10,000 feet

    AIRCRAFT
    Lockheed Constellations only, freeware, payware, or back-ported from P3D to FSX. This includes:
    • C-69 series
    • C-121 series (* see note below)
    • EC-121
    • L-049 series
    • L-649 series
    • L-749 series (* see note below)
    • L-1049 series
    * Available as freeware on Storm's OneDrive, Vintage Hangar. Warning: This particular download is supplied AS IS with no warranty, or support, or even any help with installation!

    RESTRICTIONS
    No aircraft not from the Constellation family.


    WEATHER
    Default only (i.e. server side generated, not client side generated). Please do not use real-world live weather generators such as FSrealWX lite or Active Sky Next, even though they are very good! That way we all see the same weather, important when choosing active runways.

    SCENERY
    Default OK.
    Highly recommended: FSgenesis US landclass (inexpensive payware).

    • NA pack 4 (first stop Latrobe/KLBE)
