RR1....
HI  Flight Simmers,

Welcome to something new on the Flight-Sim mail and digest.
I have had  an idea for  a while regarding flying  a preset course
each month or there about. After discussing this with Mark
Strawcutter, we agreed to give it a try.  The whole intent is
to fly in a certain corner of the World, ( that otherwise, we would
probably never try), refresh our Geography, practice our cross
country navigation and have some fun.
Give it a few months, and you will have landed
in all parts of the world.

The scenario goes like this:

Every 3 weeks or so, I will publish a course from some part of
the world for MS Flight-Simmers to:  fly, look at the scenery, do some
approaches at different airports and at the same time improve our
geography.  It will be called a ROUND ROBIN.
In the message you will be getting info like: airport departure and
runway number, VOR's and ADF's en route, a middle airport desti-
nation for a VFR or instrument approach, a final destination for VFR
or INST approach along with ILS freq, minimums etc...
I will also include interesting sights and scenerey en route and a
direct path back to the departure airport for those who wish to complete
the full circle (round robin).
You will also get info on  the scenery needed to complete the flight and
where to get it (at the ftp.iup.edu, where else?). Also,  who created the
scenery (for non-commercial) and a little background on the geography
of the area.
I will start the first one with Alfred  Gretch's Ontario Canada and
follow it in 3 weeks time with another corner of the Flight Sim world.

Please read the route a few times before starting out, to have
your Flight Plan fresh in your mind.

notes:
After take off from Trenton fly on a heading of 260. The Toronto VOR 
should kick in  after 30 NM or so.Tune in Hamilton's ADF prior to 
arriving Toronto VOR and you should have your heading to Hamilton.

Landing Hamilton:  fly to the ADF (freq 266) to intercept the Localizer
110.9. (this is a LOC/NDB, therefore  your needle
will be reverse of normal ILS, and your Azimuth will be for the
other end of the RWY.

Landing Sarnia:   fly to the ADF (freq 404) to
intercept the localizer 109.7. for ILS RWY 32
actual heading is 323.



Scenery:  After take off from Trenton (Canadian Air Force Base, Transport 
             Command) you will be heading towards Toronto,  with lake Ontario
             on your left. If you stay VFR you will see the Peterborough
              airport to   your right about 40nm out.
             Over Toronto you will see 4 airports.
             Toronto Island, Downsview(ex airforce base), Buttonville, and
             Pearson  International where the VOR is located.
              You will also have the CN tower visible to your left
             and towards Toronto Island airport,  if you are using
              ONSBGL version 4.
             On the way to Hamilton, the lake is still  on your left.
             On the way  to Sarnia, you cross over the southern  end  of
             Ontario towards lake Huron. 
             If you decide to do a little sight seing near Hamilton, go east
             south east, and follow the coast down and it will take you to
             Niagara River and  Falls.
             After Alfred Grech uploads his new ONTARIO4. BGL (soon)
             you will  be passing near the CN tower in Toronto. 
             (IT IS NOW RELEASED, look for ONSBGL4a.zip at the
              site).

.....Thank you to Alfred for the awesome scenery he
      has provided us with.

..... Thank you to Chris Squire for test flying  the route.
