High in the flight sim sky

In this how to we are going to look how we can configure our flight plan manually in our navigation system from our Cessna Citation CJ4.

Route being configure will be from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (KSEA) to Gray AAF (Joint Base Lewis-Mcchord) Airport (KGRF).

Below an overview of the addons released in week 38:

In this how to we are going to look how we can use the PAPI lights during a landing on runway 22R from the Nice Cote D’Azur Airport (LFMN).

We will first discuss what the PAPI lights are and after that we will take off. Once we are airborne we make some turns to the left and will fly parallel to the runway.

Once we passed the airport we make 2 final left turns and will land on runway 22R using the PAPI lights to ensure we are at the ideal glideslope.

Ever seen the lights below while landing on a runway?

PAPI stands for Precission Approach Path Indicator and will help the pilot during the landing. The PAPI lights are in most cases 4 lights which are located parallel to the runway. If you have done the Nice landing challenge in Flight Simulator 2020 you have seen them on the left side of runway 22R. The PAPI lights will tell the pilot if the altitude of the aircraft in relation to the runway and will help the pilot to ensure he/she is still following the ideal approach path. Using the PAPI lights the pilot can determine if he/she is to high, the altitude is correct or to low:

• 0 lights: too high
• 1 light: slightly high
• 2 lights: on glide slope (correct hight
• 3 lights: slightly low
• 4 lights: too low

So now if you see them in Flight Simulato 2020 you know what those lights are and how you can use them.

Happy flying!

In this challenge I will show you how I approached the Nice Cote D’Azur Airport (LFMN) and landed successfully on runway 22R.
