07-2 Half Moon Bay to Aircraft Carrier with Celestial Navigation [Part 2] (4K HDR 5.1)
This is the seventh leg of a planned flight around the world, ignoring regulations, navigating only by pilotage and celestial navigation while using weather conditions at the time of flight. In this episode we make our second attempt to depart from where we left off at Half Moon Bay, CA, with Black Square's Beechcraft Grand Duke and find an Aircraft Carrier 1,000nm away--halfway to Hawaii.
For the final "landfall procedure", I'll be using two instances of the sextant app together, so I can plot my lateral position to a "localizer" line of position, while using a second star (as close to 90 degree azimuth with the first) to get my approximate distance to the destination.
The plan is to locate a moving aircraft carrier halfway between California and Hawaii, in order to refuel before continuing on to Hilo, HI. Yes, an aircraft carrier isn't going to be carrying 100LL, nor would it allow someone like me to land on it, in reality. I realize that the Turbine Duke would be more believable, for syphoning JP-5 from a nearby F-18. However, the Turbine Duke doesn't have quite enough range, and I enjoy the complexity and less reliability (for sim purposes) of the piston version.
