VFR Group Flight #39
ZLA the classic way

First of all a big thank you to WW3FlyingAce and Dasudea for organizing the two WUS editions in my absence. Much appreciated! We'll be doing another early morning VFR group flight this Saturday 5/1. 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 Calexico (KCXL) 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 westbound and setup for a touch-and-go at Agua Caliente Springs (L54). After that we'll climb quickly for the always-lovely full-stop-taxi back at Hemet Ryan (KHMT). It's also here that I will assign everyone today's destination. That could either be PE-towered Riverside (KRAL) or the history breathing uncontrolled Flabob (KRIR). Mind your climb between HMT and one of both Riverside airports to make sure you don't bust the March class C.

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)
