This Weeks Flight for Wednesday 23rd November 2022 is a flight in the mountains of Papua, Indonesia. It's been a while since we have been on a challenging flight such as this so be prepared for some tears and bruises lol
The flight departs clockwise and returns to Wamena (WAJW) the largest airport in the region
On “paper” the flight appears to be quite short (42min) however these are difficult and dangerous village strips many of which can really only be approached from one direction (suggested runways detailed hereunder) and will therefore require full stops and turn arounds.
Some circuits may be necessary to allow for departing aircraft after full stops and turn arounds.
Flight suggested by YMA123
