Flying in PNG, the other airports.

The AYPY package, besides Port M and the Kokoda trail strips, comes with a lot of airports designed by Graham, very well suited to an aircraft like the T-Duke. They make both ends of a flight in PNG really enjoyable


 


I flew from Nadzab west to Mount Hagen which always makes an interesting landing, not terribly difficult but you have to "manage the relief" and the descent. Weather was hmmm... tropical (strong winds, a lot turbs in the first half) but with a good visibility.


 


I chose against all common sense to make an IFR flight and surprise! the default ATC did not do a bad job at all to vector me around to land on RW 12 without crashing me in the mountains. I had three changes of altitude during the approach and never was in danger. Still, the GTN750 terrain screen was cool enough.


 


I even had some Graham's AI traffic on final, an Dash landing just behind me.


 


A good flight...
