Real training session for San Diego Montgomery > Oceanside

Next month, I plan some (real) VFR flights in San Diego. I’m currently in France, so what a better place to train than my MSFS with some homemade sceneries and ipad+Foreflight connected to my PC.

Northbound, along the Pacific coast. The depicted weather by MSFS is very close to what I imagine and what I get from a METAR (BKN015). Challenging enough to make me think of “what would I do if I were in this situation? What are my options?” and so on…

Foreflight displayed an AI small aircraft departure just when I arrive. Perfect training! I have to deal with overhead to check the field at 1’500 ft or joining directly the left downwind… Finally did a mix : overhead then a kind of 45 entry:

The departing trafic is somewhere on the screen shot 🙂 Easy to spot when it's a moving target:

Grey ambiance with this cloudy ceiling in California:

End of left downwind 25. There’re too much powerlines there. I suspect double power towers with the default MSFS + the “We Love VFR Region 2” scenery:

Extended left base flying over El Camino High School, easy to spot with football fields and tennis courts:

Short final 25. It was a nice idea to had these light stop poles:

Runway 25 vacated by the left, applying strong brakes I hope I can have a look at some of the signs I wasn’t able to identify from here (France) 🙂 Help still needed:

Parked at what I suppose to be a transient spot, looking at the Goflight jump plane:
