Awards:

• Cobalt on reaching CYCG

Difficulty

Easy - Aircraft is small, responsive and easy to fly both by hand and on autopilot (no autothrottle), is fairly powerful and and equipped with a Cat II instrument Landing System.

Lots of large airports with long runways. Legs are of medium length, but the aircraft is fairly fast.

There are two award tiers for this event - a first for propilot events. The first award is upon successfully reaching EGLL and the second for completing the event.
