Who'd like to ferry the Denver Broncos cheerleaders over the Rocky Mountains?
Dove Valley - the Broncos HQ and practice facility - is right next to Centennial airport.
Aspen and Telluride are major ski resorts in winter, but host cultural events at other times.
This week Aspen is the venue for the Aspen Ideas Festival.
Week 40: Colorado KAPA>KASE>KTEX>KFMN Not GPS Direct FLIGHT PLAN
Flight plan in tabular form, flight maps and airport diagrams here. CRUISE Speed: 200 knots Altitude: 15,000ft AIRCRAFT Pressurized passenger props only. Turboprops recommended. Supercharged props also OK. Must handle 8000 ft runway lengths at 9000 ft above sea level. Default aircraft: The Beechcraft Kingair 350 will work. I will fly the Embraer EMB 120 Brasilia (see below). RESTRICTIONS No jets. WHICH VERSION, CLASSIC OR STEAM? We will be using Classic, not Steam. We will continue to use Classic in future weeks for the Great 48! until I can assure pilot security for the flight, at which point we'll include Steam in joint Classic/Steam flights, leaving no one behind! WEATHER To be decided. While our final airport has full ILS, the two mountain airports only have LDAs/IGSs that are tricky to fly for non-instrument rated pilots. If real-world weather is too bad, I may call for something more gentle! Update (departure - 3 hours): Karl has kindly set the server to fair weather because of forecast storms in the mountains. HOWEVER I will still try to fly real-world weather using Active Sky Next unless it gets too bad. You're free to choose! SCENERY Default OK. Highly recommended: FSgenesis US landclass (inexpensive payware). FTX Global 1.30 and Vector 1.20 good but optional (expensive payware). Vector users please see recommendations here. RECOMMENDED SCENERY ADDITIONS FOR FTX GLOBAL USERS You can download the whole series of freeware FTX global airport packs here. All four airports this week are OrbX airports!:eagerness: |
