Toughman Challenge #21  DC-3's only

By Ron Jorgensen

 

FS9

 

  Flights will be in a DC-3.   All scenery is default.  Compatible with FSX ?  Don’t know.   There could be a problem with Real Weather winds and the designated runway to be used.  Deal with it.  Please remember, this is a Simulated GAME.

 

  Departing and/or landing will be on shorter strips.  Have been advised that with minimum fuel (25% each tank) and only the pilot (175 lbs) aboard,  a DC-3 can  land or depart from a 900'runway.(no obstructions) Can you?

 

  Some weather will be added so use of the “Weather Theme” in FS9 should be used.  All flights will be flown under the cloud layers.  The longest flight will be 90 miles. NO ATC  NO FSNav    GPS Flt Planner is authorized  but strictly for information only.
