I plan on doing a cross country flight over the Australian continent using the wonderfull FTX/ORBX sceneries available (http://fullterrain.com/)
The whole trip will span over 4970 nautical miles going from Busselton in the SouthWest to Murray Island in the Northeast.
Map of the whole trip so far:...
[attachment=4610]
The first leg of this trip is from Busselton (YBLN) to Jandakot (YPJT) with a direct distance a little under 100 nm.
Fort this rather short trip I decided to take my Cessna 172N out of the hangar.
Leaving Busselton and taxiing to RW03 considering the wind conditions

[attachment=4612]
[attachment=4613]
1 notch of flaps and powering up...
[attachment=4614]
and in no time we were airborne
[attachment=4615]
... making a left hand turn towards the coastline that we would follow during most of the flight while cruising at 1500 ft...
[attachment=4616]
[attachment=4617]
...soon overflying the little coastal town 'Capel'
[attachment=4618]
and 'Clifton'
[attachment=4619]
... Closing in on the destination, over 'Kwinana Town Centre'
[attachment=4620]
Last part of the leg we followed autoroute 2 leading straight to Jandakot.

Wind conditions favoured a RW12 (bottom screen) approach so I was setting up for a left downwind ...
[attachment=4622]
[attachment=4623]
And going to final
[attachment=4624]
followed by a smooth approach and touchdown
[attachment=4625]
[attachment=4626]
Hmmm... the Royal Aero Club looks like a nice place to hang out ;-)

Total block to block time: 1 hour 14 minutes
Flown using:
Microsoft Flight simulator X
Carenado C172N
Active Sky 2012 for weather
Scenery: FTX/Orbx AU + YBLN / YPJT
