RTWR 2013 Open Practice Thread

I'm guessing north. I have the baton, YSNF - NWWK, DeHavilland Mosquito CF-FZG.

On course for New Cal. Weather is pretty. YSNF, in FSX, is at the bottom of a deep cravass. I think I even saw a puma in that cravass. I used the 6000 foot runway, hoping it would be enough. Put the flaps down one notch for take off, wound up the Merlins whilst standing on the brakes, and let ler rip. It worked. ETE 1:20-ish.

Southern end of New Caledonia has come into view on the horizon, off the starboard bow. 238 miles from NWWK. ETE 0:45.

- Paul
 
80 miles out. Probably 20 min or so. I'm going to fly over the field so see which end has the fewest palm trees, and see if there's any control towers or TACAN stations on the runway.

I just checked it out for you in FSX (I'm assuming you are using FSX for the leg) and there is currently 7 knts of wind at 130 degrees, no control towers or TACANs on the runways. Rwy 06 might be the best option as there are some tall trees close to the fence at the other end.

Edit: just checked again and the wind is spinning around the compass dial so no idea where it will be when you get here.
 
With another required completed the list now looks like this (completed airports in red):

Requirements

Full stop landing at each airport
UT65
SLCB
FMSF
LGZA
UOOO
NWWK
​


Two stops below 40S Latitude 500 nm apart
Two stops above 60N Latitude 500 nm apart


Bonus airports 1 hour each
SABA (better have some scenery installed)
VNKT
FACT
RORY

NOTAM

The following NOTAM has been issued for this practice.

As of 03:00z Saturday Jan 19 the wildcard distance has been increased from 1500 Nm to 1600 Nm max. with no time limit.

NOTAM ends.
 
NOTAM? Where's the fun in that? I was hoping for a palace uprising! :icon_lol:

Here is a provisional route across the islands to Chile (unless someone can find a better way given leg distances):

NVVW - NFFN - NFTV - NIUE - NTGA (WC) - NTTX - NTGJ - SCIP (WC) - SCFX (WC) - SCSE

From SCSE we need to go south to get the two below and then north to get the required.

Sounds like a plan to me!
