About "Half Moon Bay"
Scenario Type: VFR
It’s Friday and you’re headed from your home airport at Hayward Executive (KHWD) to Half Moon Bay (KHAF) where you’ve rented a house for the weekend. The weather is perfect and you’re flying VFR. You’d planned to leave before dark but now your spouse has just called to say they won’t be able to meet you there until after 10:00 pm. No problem, you are night current and the sky is sheer clear.
Your challenge as pilot in command is to navigate the airspace between you and your destination. There is Class B & C airspace all around you, even a wildlife refuge with a minimum crossing altitude with which to contend. You’ve also got the Montara Mountains to cross as you approach KHAF.
This is a scenario. Take your time and plan your VFR flight to Half Moon Bay before departure. Rely on your instructor as if they were your co-pilot. This is your flight, but it sure is nice to have someone with whom to confab. Consider the time of day for every aspect of the flight.
What to Expect
This VFR mission scenario was professionally developed and designed for optimum performance on a Redbird ATD. Special coding and data enhancements provide a realistic and rewarding training experience.
What You'll Learn
While mission exercises are for skill building scenarios require a pilot in training to use their expertise in a real world situation. Then add decision making to the mix. Scenarios rely on judgement calls from a true pilot in command.
What to Bring
After you self-qualify your sim and schedule your tech check you'll receive an email with a check list to help you get your machine ready for remote training. The key elements are your ATD, a ZOOM account and a good HD camera.
