FLY A ROUND-ROBNN

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • The article outlines a multi-leg IFR flight simulator exercise across Southern California (KRNM, L08, KSEE), stressing the necessity of an IFR GPS and a fast aircraft.
  • It challenges pilots to execute complex departure procedures, enroute navigation, and various instrument approaches, requiring careful interpretation of clearances and detailed approach plate information.
  • The exercise emphasizes critical decision-making, situational awareness, and the practical application of IFR knowledge to navigate airspace and handle challenging descent gradients and approach limitations.

We usually make these so you can fly them with or without a GPS in your sim, but that’s getting more difficult every day. It’s a GPS world out there. Do you really not have some kind of GPS on your sim? Time to ditch that Windows Vista box and get with the times, my friend.

So make sure there’s an IFR GPS in your panel for this one. No WAAS needed, however. To make the day fun, pick out something fast and slippery. (Sometimes this author wonders what a spouse thinks when they walk by and only catch a sentence out of context.) Park that beast on the ramp in Ramona, CA (KRNM). Set the weather with some low ceilings and a southeast wind of your choice. Or just go with real world weather and promise to hide the outside view after 400 feet AGL going up and minimums coming down.
