Dispatch Story

Passenger brief

A small passenger-and-supplies charter from Port Moresby into the Papua New Guinea highlands at Goroka.

Booked load: 6–8 passengers · Passenger bags + light supplies. Use your aircraft’s simulator load manager for actual weights and balance.

Why fly this?

One of the best reasons to own a Kodiak in a simulator: serious terrain, a remote destination and a flight that feels like utility aviation rather than sightseeing alone.

Difficulty: Advanced

No destination ILS record was found in the supplied ILS dataset.

Data basis: airport coordinates, runway metadata, magnetic variation, communications and approach counts are taken from the supplied MSFS 2024 airport scenery dataset. VOR/NDB/ILS references are selected from the supplied MSFS navaid datasets. Planning time and altitude are simulator-oriented suggestions, not operational performance or real-world flight-planning advice.
