I've been asked to put together a small flight for Friday 7th at 2000z, Sat 8th 0900NZDT
This flight starts at my home airport of Tauranga (NZTG) and ends at the beautiful island of Great Barrier (NZGB)
All along the way, we will be either passing over, stopping at, or doing touch and goes on 6 small (majority are private) airstrips all along the Coromandel Peninsula.
Skyvector link (the airports are so small, Skyvector doesn't even list them, but they are there in sim)
https://skyvector.com/?ll=-36.923986835 ... 46E%20NZGB
The route follows the valleys of the Coromandel Range northward. They aren't massive mountains so we shouldn't find ourselves in any sort of trouble *cough* Hitting ridges *cough*
Flight distance is approx 120NM
At a ground speed of 90 knots, it will take a little over an hour to complete. If we feel it was too quick, I have alternate plans for when we get to NZGB.....
A list of the waypoints follow:
NZTG
NZUN
NZWT
NZCX
NZAG
NZGR
NZGB
We can choose at the time whether we want to do a touch and go at these fields. Some of them can be pretty interesting!
Meet time: 2000z
Take off by: 2030z
Aircraft: GA, slow or fast is acceptable, we may need to wait for some though
Sim Time: Set time to real. 0900
Weather: Set to real, forecast looks good.
Hope to see you there!
