Dispatch Story

Passenger brief

A regional charter leaves Dakar for Sal in Cape Verde — a small-airliner sector over the Atlantic to a volcanic island chain.

Booked load: 12–18 passengers · Holiday / family baggage. Use your aircraft’s simulator load manager for actual weights and balance.

Why fly this?

A convincing Bandeirante mission that feels much more exotic than its roughly two-hour block time suggests.

Difficulty: Moderate

Arrival ILS in supplied data: RWY 01 · 109.90 MHz.

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.
