For today's flight I won't be able to post the full flight plan until later as my P3D PC has been out of action this week due to some decorating, but I'll be putting it back together shortly. The plan is already done, I just don't have access to it right now. We'll be continuing from Isafjordur heading east along the north coast of Iceland. Same sort of speed (150kts-ish) and aircraft as last week, I'll be in a Twin Otter. Date: Saturday 18th November 2017 Time: 1900 UTC Same place as usual!

Iceland 2017: Keflavik to Isafjordur Starting at Keflavik (BIKF), the international airport, we take a hop across the bay to Reykjavik's small city centre airport (BIRK). Next head north to Stykkisholmur (BIST) then along Snaefellsnes peninsula. We'll visit Snaefellsjokull volcano (WP1), the setting for Jules Verne's novel Journey to the Centre of the Earth before we land at Rif (BIRF). Then an overwater leg (sorry) to the scenic Westfjords region, with stops at Patreksfjordur (BIPA), Bildudalur (BIBD) and Thingeyri (BITE). The end of our route is the challenging approach into runway 08 at Isafjordur (BIIS), which starts out in the bay before heading into the fjord then making a 180 degree turn to land. Easy, right? It would be if there weren't mountains all around you.... If anyone thinks of taking the easy way out and landing on 26 instead - it's closed! Flightplans PLN GFP Aircraft It's a 220nm route, so something that can do around 150kts should be about right. I'm going to have a look at a few options including the DC-3 / C-47 or maybe the DH Dove, or this is very much Twin Otter country. As always, the choice is yours. Scenery Orbx kindly made Iceland as the demo for their FTX Global scenery platform. If you already have Global + EU landclass, you should find that all the goodies such as upgraded airports (including a nice rendition of BIRK) and some of the Reykjavik landmarks will already be in your sim without needing to install the demo. I suggest having Vector active as well if you have it. Particulars Date and time: Saturday 11th November 2017, 1900 UTC.

(FSX, FSX-SE, and P3D) If you want to help others enjoy the multiplayer experience, don't forget to enter your aircraft details on the multiplayer spreadsheet (linked here). Your courtesy will save others a lot of time and effort. Thanks! Recommend that you set your initial clock to 1315 local time to account for flight time and the usual "faffing about" time. This should give us a sunset over the fjords at the conclusion of the flight. Finally... pray for good weather!! The forecast for Saturday for the west of Iceland doesn't look too bad right now....
