Flying again!
Well Known Member
I am planning on flying to Eugene, OR to pick up my daughter and fly her back to the DFW area. The route I am planning now is 52F-4V1-1V8-KBTF-KGNG-KEUG, landing at 4V1 and KGNG for fuel and a short break. I plan of flying thru/over Mosca Pass, (9740 ft).
At 1406nm this seems like the most direct route while avoiding some of the passes that can be a problem (Monarch, Loveland etc.). The highest terrain on the profile view is around 11,000 ft and I will be flying with Oxygen and plan for 14500 over those areas. Plan on crossing before noon and when the wind is less than 25 knots over the passes and higher ridges. Any suggestions or comments?
Last time I flew over the Rockies (to/from Yellowstone from DFW and from Vancouver to DFW) I took a more Northern routes that avoided a lot of the high terrain.
Coming back I think the RV-10 will be filled with my daughters stuff but on the way out it will just be me. If anyone needs a lift to Denver or Eugene or anywhere along the route let me know.
Thanks for any advice or recommendations.
