Detailed flight itinerary included in the file download. (But a word of warning, make your climb early as the C172 doesn't have the guts of the XCub, Carbon or Grravel! and you don't want to stall out trying to rapidly climb trying to get over a steep crest of a mountain!)

NOTE: For those of you who don't prefer running MSFS "missions" per say, I have included the flight plan (both LNM and MSFS version) on which this bush trip is based. Additionally for the more advanced flyer who might want to try to manually navigate this trip, I have also included a sky vector static map link of the route. Try your hand at dead reckoning methods and marking land marks to ascertain your position. (But make sure you grab your watch or E6B just in case as it is easy to get lost in these parts.
