With the addition of these Argentina and Uruguay routes, South America is
becoming well-represented on DC-3 Airways.
Argentina and Uruguay, located south of the Equator, are in the summer
season while the northern hemisphere is in the midst of winter and
vice-versa. This is a great region for Flight Simulation flights, especially
in the DC-3. Depending on the chosen route, pilots will encounter a broad
variety of topography: mountains, tropical forest, desert conditions, lakes,
fjords and glaciers.
Flying the Andes Mountains presents its own challenge, and the documentation
includes the procedures for doing this in unpressurized aircraft such as the
DC-3.
Daniel Nole, DCA-116, has presented us with another comprehensive
documentation package. In addition to his flight descriptions and
FSNavigator files, AFCAD2 files are included to properly locate airport
gates and parking places. Nole's 282 flights range in length from 34 NM up
to 1814 NM, so there is something here for everyone.
As you review the documentation package you will appreciate the effort that
Daniel Nole put into this project.
