VFR Group Flight #36
Tired about flying the Banning Pass on PE?

We'll be doing another early morning VFR group flight this Saturday 4/10. It's ZLA time again. We will be departing from an uncontrolled field again but you'll never know if you land at an uncontrolled or PE-staffed field.

Start your sim of choice, load up at a vacant ramp location in Twentynine Palms (KTNP) and log into the Pilotedge network to join. We will use the #Briefing Room 1 on the Pilotedge discord server for the briefing. The briefing starts at 8:00 am PDT. Information about the Pilotedge discord server can be found at the links below. After everyone is informed and ready we will advise when we switch to the local CTAF frequency.
We will depart southbound to climb into the mountains for some stunning views of the Joshua Tree national park. That route will lead us straight into the TRSA but as it's services aren't mandatory we'll skip that for this time and make a full-stop-taxi-back at Bermuda Dunes (KUDD). More about the TRSA in the briefing and at the link below. Check it out! After the stop at UDD it's time for another steep climb into the mountains for the not-everyday route to the west. Let's just skip that Banning Pass this time, am I the only PE-pilot who has done that one too much?. At another full-stop-taxi-back at French Valley (F70) I will let each of you know if your destination will be either the PE-towered San Bernardino (KSBD) or uncontrolled Redlands (KREI).

After landing at the appointed airport we debrief on the discord server again. This is a pretty basic procedure flight but with great views and an exciting element. It also offers great possibilities to work on your CTAF skills and is suitable for beginners however because it might include a landing at a class D airport, I highly recommend you to achieve at least the CAT-ratings up to the CAT-2 if you'd like to join. Preferably fly an aircraft that is easily able to maintain a cruise speed of around 110 kts.

Subscription required for this flight: Los Angeles Center(ZLA) or Combined (ZLA+WUS)
