| Flight Tours 3 - Italy |
|
File Description:
These flights will take you over and around an area of great natural beauty and immense historic treasures, not to mention great diversity in weather! One flight will take you into Switzerland, and another two into Sicily, but the other seven will have you flying in Italy, a country that has been at the heart of European culture for over two thousand years. A nation only united in the late 19th century, you'll fly over various regions of the country, that each have their own history, dialect, cuisine, and architecture, yet make up a fascinating modern nation. A founding member of the European Union, today's Italy is a world leader in fashion, design, and agriculture, and Italians enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the world. Welcome to my third installment of Flight Tours...Flight Tours Over Italy!

File Description:
A C.R.D.A. Cant.Z.506A (I-POLA, from the first construction batch of this entirely wooden construction seaplane), was converted into a landplane by mounting a fixed landing gear, in order to try breaking a distance record taking off from Cagliari-Elmas airport. The attempt was first delayed due to bad weather conditions, and later even canceled. So it was eventually converted back to its original seaplane configuration. This plane, powered by three American made Wright Cyclone, made its first flight in August 1936 and was transferred to Cagliari-Elmas airport during September 1936.
Original aircraft, features the usual moving parts, such as all flight controls, props pitch and navlights. Requires the previous installation of the C.R.D.A. Cant.Z.506A/C (V.01) package (506_ac01.zip) and the 2D panel enhancement (506c_pnl.ZIP). Created by Manuele Villa , December 2007. Installation instructions included.

File Description:
FS Flight Builder is a utility for general aviation flying that will build flight files for FSX (flt), FSX Steam Edition (flt), and Prepar3D (fxml) based on waypoints and other data either entered manually or imported from SkyVector using the Plain Text Link information. Among other things, you can select your starting position, aircraft, and a VFR or IFR flight plan.
One of the most interesting features of the application is that it will include a Briefing file, added to the aircraft's built-in kneedboard, that will include departure and destination airport information (runways, frequencies, weather, and charts) as well as navigation frequencies along the route.
Included is a new destination chooser function that allows you to enter your departure airport and additional criteria, such as min and max distance, tower required, ILS, runway length restrictions.

File Description:
N999MH, (Strangely, no date for when it was built) left sunny California to live at Compton Abbas Airfield, Wiltshire (EGHA) The owner, Detiger Elizabeth, (I'm intrigued by that name)a member of The Air Squadron UNA, won't thank me for bringing this up: "25 October 2003. "After a normal start, the pilot taxied his tail wheel aircraft across the grass towards the holding area for Runway 26. The weather was good with a light north-westerly surface wind. Two other aircraft were stationary, holding for the runway, and the pilot of N999MH failed to see one of these aircraft.The right wing of N999MH struck the propeller of one of these aircraft, G-AYEV." Oops!
As per usual, only download this paint if you possess a bona fide copy of Alabeo's C195 Businessliner 'cos you know it ain't right otherwise. ;-)

| CargoJet Flight Plans |
|
File Description:
Attached is an Excel Flight Planner including recent (Jan/Feb 2019) scheduled flight plans for CargoJet for use with the CaptainSim 757-III Freighter expansion.
A couple of weeks ago, I made two CargoJet liveries for the CS 757-III Freighter, available at Avsim:
https://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=&Name=&FileName=&Author=meier&CatID=p3dacrp
To use these files, copy the attached .rt files to your Captain Sim route directory:
*\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Captain_Sim\757-III\Routes\
These accompanying route files (60+) DO NOT include any SID or STAR data, nor do they include any performance information (cargo/fuel weights)...I've intentionally tried to keep these files customizable with any ATC program you may be using.
The Excel spreadsheet use should be pretty straight forward (it was designed using MS Excel 2019...you'll need MS Excel 2013 or newer for the macros to work correctly).
The spreadsheet will open to a worksheet containing CargoJet's current, scheduled route network. From this worksheet, simply select a departure location from the buttons on the world map.
Once a departure location is selected, a second "Flight Planning" worksheet will open with a UserForm Box directing you to select an airport destination based upon your selected departure location.
The UserForm box is pre-populated only with current destinations from that departure airport (based upon current CargoJet Jan/Feb 2019 schedules obtained from online flight tracking data).
I've included a weather snapshot download from each of the departure and destination airports into the flight planning worksheet.
I have not yet included enroute weather information...that may come in a "V2" of this flight planner.
As I have not yet included enroute weather information, flight fuel calculations/fuel burn are only approximate for now. Down the road, I may also include calculations for derate temperatures...that will take considerable more work.
I think this Flight Planner is a pretty good version 1 for sharing. In the absence of a website dedicated to a "CargoJet Virtual Airline", I thought this Excel spreadsheet and accompanying flight plans may be of benefit to anyone who might enjoy flying the CS757-III Freighter expansion with CargoJet livery.
Personally, I was fortunate to already have the full compliment of SimAddon airports (Canada wide) which makes for enhanced enjoyment of the CaptainSim 757-III add-on and this flight planning spreadsheet. (That statement wasn't intended as a promotion for people to go out and buy the SimAddons software!!!)
I haven't had a chance to test all the flight plans yet...I'm hoping I haven't made any errors!
Anyhow, I hope this spreadsheet and flight plans can be of benefit to others.
Feedback always appreciated!

| Consolidated PBY-5A VB-126 #20 |

File Description:
A repaint for the Aerosoft PBY-5a Catalina in the colors of PBY-5a #20 (BuNo 7277) of VB-126 as it looked during a rescue operation on the Greenland ice cap in 1943. On 5 november 1942, a C-53 en route from Iceland to Greenland was reported missing off Greenland's east coast. Four days later, a B-17F, en route for England was aked to to keep a lookout for the missing plane, but it crashed on the ice cap. The crew of suffered only minor injuries, and they soon received food and other supplies that were dropped on the ice. Unfortunately, they had landed in a heavily crevassed part of the icecap, making an evacuation difficult. On 28 november, a USCG Grumman Duck, flown by Lt Pritchard, managed to make a wheels-up landing on the ice and brought out two of the crew. The next day, a ground rescue team arrived on the dite as well, and things looked good....
One crew member and a rescuer died when their sled disappeared in a crevasse, and later the same day, Lt. Pritchard's Duck disappeared as well, with a crew of three. On 6 december, an attempt was made to evacuate the B-17's navigator, Lt. O'Hara, who suffered from gangrene in his feet. One member is the rescue party fell into an crevasse, and the motorsled they were using broke down, so the men had to dig in and wait for help. The days continued until over christmas, but morale was kept high with airdrops whenever the weather permitted. A rescue by sled became impossible however due to bad conditions and heavy snows. Lt.Col Balchen, who had used a PBY the previous summer to rescue the members of the B-17 'My Gal Sal' (currently under restoration in Ohio) of the ice, and was now in charge of the rescue operation, proposed to try the same here. The last summer, the PBY landed on a melt water lake on the icecap however, this time he wanted to belly land the PBY, and nobody knew if the hull could withstand such a battering. In the meantime, a ski-equipped T8P1 aircraft tried the same, but dispappeared over the east coast. The crew members were found five days later in a rubber dinghy. The Navy finally gave permission to try an attempt with the PBY. and two PBY-5a"s were send to airfield BW-8, to wait for the right weather. On 5 febuary 1943, Lt Bernard Dunlop succesfully bellylanded BuNo 7277 / 20 (the above paintjob) at the motorsled camp, and the three survivors were taken on board. It has frozen solid in the ice, but after two hours of hard labor, the crew managed to free the PBY and it took off. Now only the three crew members still at the original site needed to be rescued. A ground rescue party was sent to the wreck to transport the survivors to a spot where the PBY could land, but bad weather prevented any flying until 17 march. On that day, Lt. Dunlop landed on the ice, dropping off Lt.Col Balchen and the rescue party, who reached the wreck the following day. The weather closed in again until finally, on april 5th, Lt Dunlop landed his PBY for the third time on the ice cap. All hands were taken on board, but after five attempts to take off, the starboard engine caught fire. The blaze was extinguished, but repairs were necessary. The next day, they managed to take off, but without the rescue party, to lighten the load. 149 days after their crash, the B-17 crew was finally clear of the ice. It wasn't until 18 may that the last member of the rescue party was finally evacuated, making this a six and a half month rescue operation...

| Lockhart River Air Crash Simulation V2 with Standard and Enhanced Realism modes |
|
File Description:
This mission accurately simulates the flight details, weather conditions and radio traffic of the Lockhart River Air Disaster that occured in Queensland, Australia on the 7th of May 2005. This mission can now be played in two ways.
In the standard mode (the default) there are guidance gates, relaxed flight profiles and no phase timers to beat.
When you complete the mission you will have a very good idea on how the incicent happened and you will be rewarded with the standard medal.
The enhanced realsim mode is tough and challenging. To succeed you have to fly each phase of the mission to a tight timeframe and flight profile, overfly the crash site and safely land at Lockhart River, all in IFR conditions with no autopilot. If you succeed and complete the mission you are rewarded with the enhanced medal. Are you good enough?
