January 28, 20242 yr I’ve done this trip IRL twice with my wife many years ago, four times to be precise, but twice we had to turn back due to bad weather over Gilgit. The first part is easy, you just fly along Faisal Avenue and you’ll find yourself automatically over the Faisal Mosque, one of the largest in the world. In the real world you are of course not allowed to do this. The second part is more difficult, but fascinating. Now comes the tricky part To land in Gilgit, you fly along a ridge, make a sharp left turn at the end and if you have done everything right, you are perfectly aligned for runway 25 Thanks for viewing.

January 29, 20242 yr beautiful series! I had a cousin who worked in aircraft maintenance, and I had to promise him to never, ever, fly PIA... All my FSX/P3D repaints are here on Avsim, for my MSFS repaints, go to FS.2

Hahaha, I can understand your cousin, but at that time we lived in Lahore, so we had no choice but to use PIA. Alternatively we could have use public transportation, meaning a bus, which is in that region even more dangerous, considering the condition of the roads. And it takes you close to two days to get from Islamabad to Gilgit. 🙂 Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080
