I have a progress check coming up, my last one! I was asked to plan a flight from KRHV to 2O1. Here is what I came up with, does anyone think this route could be better?
Route:
KRHV SUNOL SAC SIGNA SIDOY 2O1 @ 9,500
Detail:
depart KRHV for cruise at 9,500
to waypoint SUNOL
to SAC VORTAC on the 177 radial
from there, I want to avoid the TFR at Beale, so I plan to to waypoint SIGNA on the SAC 021 radial. The terrain gets a bit hostile here in the Sierras, my cruise altitude is to clear the MEF but I want to make sure I carefully to plan my descent into 2O1 at 3,419. Also, I want to avoid the CHINA MOA just west of 2O1, so my next wayout is SIDOY over the town of Portola. I need about 24nm to get down to 2O1, which is about the distance from this waypoint and over the winding highway 70/89 - plus there is an airport O02 near the final waypoint, good for diversion or fuel.
Looking forward to comments!
