This flight will take us along the coast of Luzon, Philippines, showcasing the diverse landscapes of the region, from coastal towns and mountains to more developed areas.

We depart from Casiguran (CGG), a coastal municipality known for its beautiful bays and mountains. It's a key location in the province of Aurora.

Our first stop is Dinapique (RPDI). It is a remote coastal town on the eastern side of Isabela province. It is known for its rugged terrain and is one of the four coastal towns of Isabela.

Next up is Cauayan (RPUY). The city is a major commercial hub for the surrounding area.

We continue and reach Palanan (RPPA). Palanan is a municipality on the eastern coast of Isabela, famous for being the site of the capture of the first Philippine Republic president, Emilio Aguinaldo. It is a remote and beautiful area, part of the Northern Sierra Madre Natural Park.

Now we reach Maconacon (RPDC). Maconacon is another coastal municipality in Isabela. Like Palanan and Dinapigue, it is a remote area with a distinct, rugged natural beauty. Our next landing is at Tuguegarao (RPUT). Tuguegarao is the capital city of Cagayan province and the regional center of Cagayan Valley. It is a bustling city and one of the hottest places in the Philippines, with a major domestic airport.

Today's destination is the San Vicente Naval Airstrip (RPSC). This area is known for its beautiful beaches, islands, and as a gateway to the Babuyan Islands.

The flight is 220 miles long with five landings. I will be in the Caribou, please fly what you like.

The flight plans are here. Please note that there is no GTN750 flight plan included. Almost none of the airports are in the GTN database.

I had severe problems loading MSFS 2024 and/or starting a flight with the Caribou liveries from MSFS 2020 enabled. Your mileage may vary, but I disabled all third-party liveries.

 

Please set your simulator for a 9 am departure. We will try real weather.

Caribou Repaints that work in FS2024. The Caribou is an FS2020 aircraft that seems to work in FS2024. But not all the FS2020 third-party paints work in FS2024. The following are tested with positive results. (I add a couple of failures by the same authors. Note  that a number of other previously used FS2020 repaints do not work in FS2024. This is not an exhaustive test.) [Date 2025-08-15.]
