Description:

MFS0018 Travelling the British Columbia Lighthouses - Part Two - Vancouver-Prince Rupert

Welcome to the Lighthouses for BC, (British Columbia), Canada. There are almost 50 lighthouses run along the BC coastal areas and around Vancouver Island.
In this excursion we will travel to most of these lighthouse locations.  In Part one we travelled from Prince Rupert and headed westward to the Pacific Coast visiting all the lighthouses on the west side of Vancouver Island, rounded the corner of the island and we made it to Vancouver on the BC mainland.  Now, in this part two, we depart Vancouver and head northward back to Prince Rupert visiting the lighthouses locations that are positioned between Vancouver and Prince Rupert.

The Excursion:

This trip is intended to be a low level coastal flight excursion for all of the sims: MSFS as well as FSX-P3D however in FSX-P3D might have to tweak an airport ICAO or two to match the sim’s airport table but the route contained in the flight plans will direct you to the correct locations of the intended lighthouse, airports and/or landing locations.   

This excursion covers 645 nm in 14 legs.

Aircraft:
This is an amphibious trip so an amphibious craft is required. Amphibian single prop or twin (standard or turbo), heli amphibians etc will fill the requirement for this excursion. Aircraft IE: Icon a5, Cubx, C172/C185 amphibian, Kodiaks, G21 Goose/G44 Widgeon, DHC-2 Beaver, DHC-3 Otter, DHC-6 Twin Otter etc.
