Hey All,
I'll try to do the positioning flight. PADK - PAAK I have the baton PC-12.
Next pilot has a decision to make - turn sharp left for an island and a direct route or continue on up the Aleut Island chain and through central Alaska to Wiley Post- Will Rogers.

An Edit: ETA 20 mins

At cruising altitude of 21,000. ETE 0:42.
One note about the leg from ATU to PADK. At 376 NM, it is an illegal leg. Had we taken the short hop from ATU to PASY first, the leg to PADK would have come in under 350 NM. Alternatively, the leg from UHPP could have flown direct to PASY, since the rule is if there are no airports within 350 NM, the requirement defaults back to the 700 NM leg.
Just one of those things we have to worry about in the real race. For this practice, I just want to make sure we make a note of it, and we will proceed onwards.
