RobertVA Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 17. "RE: Multiplayer Flight Ideas" 08-17-04, 05:09z  Andy's Proposal for August 22, 2004: Springtime in Yosemite Nat. Park (Canyon) J Objective:- To fly VFR to Posn Alpha , descend and follow canyon floor at altitude of choice (got Yogi,s approval J ) Climb out to Posn Beta and immediately land in the paddock or on the lake. Depart. Airport Mariposa-Yosemite ID o68 (Oscar) Alt. 2250 R/W. 08/26 (3310ft) Fly Hdg.043* dist. 15.5’ to Position Alpha (Lat 37*40.7 Long 119*47.3 Alt 6500) Can use Shift + Z if forgot the stopwatch J -- then to Hdg 090* approx. Suggest more Northerly course (020*) to intersect Lat 37*40 then "run your easting down J " to Long 119*47 as canyon difficult to pick out. (Look for river & tracks) Descend into canyon (3500’) and follow tracks and river. On reaching a fork in the canyon ( round hill on the skyline ahead) take left fork over a small lake, commence a steep climb to exit at Position Beta (Lat37*47.4 Long119*29.3) Alt 8800 Immediately after the Exit position there is a fairly clear level paddock :- Lat 37*49.4 Long 119*28.4 Approach. O2/200 Alt. 8202 After the paddock at Northern end is a sizable lake. Approach Lake 03/210* Alt 8202’ The Caravan ( Amphib) did the climb out of the canyon easily Used the Baron. (No problem) C152 (just made climb out of canyon) Warning : climb out of the canyon is very steep. At the crest keep to the left for line up with the paddock. ETE in the 152 is 38minutes.
