The article details a challenging flight simulator race from Riverside (KRAL) to Santa Monica (KSMO) with intermediate stops at Hawthorne (KHHR) and Fullerton (KFUL).
The primary objective is to complete the multi-leg IFR journey as fast as possible, strictly adhering to instrument procedures, TEC routes, and avoiding virtual pilot deviations without using an autopilot.
Pilots are encouraged to use their fastest aircraft and prepare thoroughly with EFB procedures for various approaches (LOC, VOR-A, RNAV) and real-world weather conditions.
The "go fast" challenge is designed to push pilot skills and expand comfort zones, enhancing proficiency in rapid decision-making, complex IFR navigation, and confidently handling high-speed scenarios.
Today’s sim challenge is a race from Riverside, CA (KRAL) to Santa Monica, CA (KSMO), with stops along the way at Hawthorne (KHHR) and Fullerton (KFUL). It’s a quick trip—and you’re going to make it even shorter. The goal is to fly it as fast as possible, without getting a call from the virtual FAA for a pilot deviation. Or running into a virtual hilltop.
