You know it might be good to make a list of presently supported FG aircraft that meets this flight's requirement. The DeHavilland Canada DHC6 Twin Otter isn't going to quite cut this. It's fixed gear limits it to about 180 knots well below this altitude.

But there are other aircraft, Like Helijah Hangar's Let-410, The Dornier DG228, The Beechcraft 1900d, and the Embraer EMB-120.

Most of these should be available at either FGMEMBERS or FG-Add-ons. All of these planes are small, local service passenger turboprops and have a relatively rapid climb rate and can cruise around '12.5+K at least 220 knots.

yeah, but I wouldn't be exactly qualified to make the list : |
And most likely would forget the exact planes others are bringing

I heard that SP-BAN will bring probably the aerostar 700, JWocky the ATR72, and I'll fly the KingAir
I believe Skyboat is planning a piper, but dont' recall which one exactly

I'm going with the Let L-410 since I've not flown it in about 4 years And you have it in FGMEMBERS aircraft.

The Pirates of the West Indies, Orinoco



Hi Airmen
This Saturday 08/31 we will continue the treasure hunting tour, departing the last arrived Guyana City, Venezuela (SVPR).

We will follow VFR rules and plan, following southbound the Orinoco River Stream, at variable altitudes, depending weather, between 2500 and 7500 ft.

The target airport will be Puerto Carreno, Colombia (SKPC).

We will continue using multipropellers capable of sustaining 220-250 KIAS.

The skyvector linked below is not to be used strictly, but as a general guideline, and to allow us to rescue the flight plan, and transfer to IFR rules if weather dissallows
