Description

Suggested Airplane, Weather, Liftoff Time, And Autopilot Settings:
✔ DA62
✔ Overcast (You may need to raise the lowest cloud layer so the base is ~5000 ft)
✔ Late afternoon (I’ll use 4pm local time for live stream), although sunset and sunrise are pretty as well
✔ Two Autopilot Options:
✔ (Simpler) NAV mode, VS mode @ 500 FPM to 7000 ft
✔ Closer To Terrain:
✔ Start with NAV mode, climb to 2000 ft, then ALT mode.
✔ At Hoh River Entry, VS mode @ 1000 FPM to 7000 ft
✔ After Hurricane Ridge, VS mode @ -1000 FPM to 3000 ft

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 https://events.flighttracker.tech as a GPS/AHRS device)
All the best,
Jules

P.s. I highly recommend pulling Wikipedia up on the side and looking at the park while you explore.

Updates:
v1.6 – Upgraded MapTiler to remove MBTiles watermark
v1.5 – Tested to confirm autopilot usability, and includes suggested autopilot settings
v1.4 – Includes suggested plane, weather, and liftoff time
