Thanks to Dr. Lluís del Cerro, DC3-581 and VATSIM Supervisor, for these 103 flights in the Western Mediterranean Coastal Region. Flights range in length from 13 NM to 554 NM.

The original intent was to create a set of flights around the most important airports of the Catalan speaking region: Catalonia, Valencia and Balearic Islands (in Spain), North Catalonia (in France), L'Alguer (Alghero, in Sardinia Island - Italy) and Andorra (Independent State).

In the end, though, Lluís believed that DCA pilots would enjoy even more a larger number of flights covering also a larger geographical area. Thus, these Western Mediterranean Routes attempt to cover all of the coastal airports of this geographical area from the Strait of Gibraltar to the Strait of Sicily.

The documentation associated with this routes is important to properly set up the flights. You should especially note:

• The Excel Spreadsheet provides the information for selecting a flight.
  
  
• The documentation for each flight includes an FSNavigator flight plan and a text description.
  
  
• Altitude information is included in the FSNavigator flight plans.
  
  
• When appropriate, Airway routing information is also included on the Excel Spreadsheet.
  
  
• Runways have not been designated.
  
  • If you are flying with Real Weather, select runways most appropriate to the existing wind conditions.
    
  • If flying Online, VATSIM or Multiplayer, controllers will assign the proper runways.
    
  • If flying without Real Weather or not Online, select the runway most optimum for the route of flight.
    
    
• Both English and Spanish documentation is included.
  
  
• I believe that you will particularly enjoy, as a background to these flights, the website links that Lluís has included for more geographical and historical details and pictures.

These flights by Dr. Lluís del Cerro are a fine addition to the DC-3 Airways routes and should be most enjoyable to fly.
