Route 14

by Ron Jorgensen - MTN1652

Amphib or Float, anything goes..  It is designed for flight at low altitudes.  Varying weather is suggested to change the difficulty of the flights.  Splash flights are VFR ONLY!  No autopilot either!!  If you want to fly high watching an autopilot, this division is not for you.

These flights will take you on a “Round Robin” around KMSP Intl. with 6 water landings. Total of 140 Miles.

ATC is not required but that is your option. If you use ATC you will be diverted to I know not where as you will be crossing numerous Approach/Departure lanes.

SCENERY: KMSPV4 @ AVSIM (optional)

WX: Please set your F.S. Weather Theme to “Gray & Rainy” as this will add a little spice to the flights.
