Denali National Park Flight Plan v1.4
Note: Consider adding Kantishna Airport (5Z5) by Emerald Scenery Design and the Alaska water height fix by Baddweapon for a richer flight. Kantishna is just north of the Wonder Lake waypoint, and is a great stop before a long climb up Mount McKinley.
Suggested airplane, weather, and liftoff time:
– Cessna 208B Grand Caravan
– High Level Clouds
– 9am local time (an hour or so after sunrise)
Hello!
I host a live stream every week where we explore the National Parks together!
Before the stream, I research the park and help improve the park’s Wikipedia pages. I also make a flight plan to showcase the park highlights and in case others want to fly along with me.
In the zip file you’ll find:
The .pln file with named waypoints (load this from the World Map screen of MSFS 2020)
Relevant park map(s)
A screenshot of where this flight plan goes relative to the park map
MBTiles file(s) in case you have Foreflight or another app which supports these (this is how I overlay the flight plan and the park map when I fly around)
ForeFlight .fpl file which matches the .pln in case you prefer ForeFlight (consider using a tool like Flight-Events as a GPS/AHRS device)
All the best,
Jules Altis
P.s. I highly recommend pulling Wikipedia up on the side and looking at the park while you explore.
