Flight planning - closed loop - California terrain

Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim (More info?)

Had some fun with flight plan departing and arriving at SAME field.
Didn't try with FS default planner but used FSNav. Have a look at the
following PLAN created out of KONT (one of my favorite Sim fields).

Having immense enjoyment running this pattern. Starts runway heading
turning right over Pomona and Brackett. Crossing the San Gabriel ridge
(was 9'000 changed to 11'000) joining the Palmdale radial. Then down-
wind leg for the descent. Right turn south thru 7'500 towards San
Bernardino field.. joining Paradise radial for descent and 26R LOC.


PLAN

The following is basic exported FP, total distance ~85nm. If you have
premium scenery then recommend this area [to sim]. Perhaps make
weather hot and hazy.

p.s. be sure to clear terrain north of KSBD.. used custom FSNav ALTs.
Note: not a real plan, have no experience, for fun & amusement
only. ALso fun with Paintshop Pro and web graphics.
