Belgium VFR Cross-Country Tour (bushTrip) v0.9
Belgium VFR Cross-Country Tour (BushTrip)
Welcome to Belgium, a barely flat-land country in the heart of Europe!
By flying low-and-slow in a Cessna C152 (no built-in GPS or autopilot) you will for sure enjoy this 11-leg cross-country tour across Belgium. You will be landing only in small to mid-size airports and airfields (exception for Oostende and Luxembourg).
I challenge you to try your best to fly purely VFR, following visual landmarks as per the sub-leg descriptions. This will not be always easy but you will certainly enjoy the pleasure of reaching your destination, using only your ‘eyes and hands’.
Assistance on the route will be available in the form of back-on-Track button on the VFR Map, however be advised that using this will disable achievements tied to the activity.
Summary:
11 Airports / 11 Legs
600+ nautical Miles (measured by direct GPS track throughout all waypoints)
06H00+ of flight (calculated time for direct route through all waypoints, will take you slightly more)
