The sim challenge is a multi-leg IFR race from Riverside (KRAL) to Santa Monica (KSMO), with intermediate stops at Hawthorne (KHHR) and Fullerton (KFUL).
The primary goal is to complete the route as fast as possible while strictly adhering to IFR procedures and avoiding pilot deviations, with no autopilot assistance.
It requires extensive pre-flight preparation, including organizing EFB procedures and understanding Tower Enroute Control (TEC) routes to navigate complex airspace under real-world weather conditions.
This high-speed, high-workload scenario is designed to enhance pilot skills, promote "thinking ahead," and expand comfort zones in demanding flight conditions.
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.
