P3D v4 Benton to Hayfork (and Bad Decisions...)

ryanbatc · February 1, 2018

This is a flight I did in the superb recently released freeware U206G (it's a 206 with a turboprop - find it at SoH or just google it). It's got dual GTN setup (and I've got RXP in mine). It should have been a simple VFR flight. But I saw a cold front approaching during the briefing and decided to go anyway. I decided to climb above the weather but that turned out to be a bad decision because I became stuck on top of solid overcast as I approached F62. I did something I rarely do in the sim, I did the 180 course reversal back to some sucker holes. Then I dropped in and used the GTN to find a path between the terrain and clouds to the airport. Rain also started up after I got underneath adding to the fun. Thankfully with this aircraft I have the power to get out of a bad situation hehe. I did try to maintain VFR and all USA regulations during this flight (think I was able to)

Anyway if you like GA this is an excellent choice - there's amphib, skydive, and tundra and regular options!
