A flight plan for a flight through the Grand Canyon. If you want some spectacular views and fun flying try out this flight plan. There are over 800 waypoints used that take you through most of the canyon. Two flights included. One going eastbound and the other going westbound. You will be flying in the default Cessna 172 with the autopilot connected. Just sit back and watch the scenery go by. Don't get too relaxed because there are a couple of turns that you will have to take control of the aircraft. Included in this package are two gauges by Karol Chlebowski for TFR flying and Pave Tack which enhance the sight seeing experience. Another option to download v2.1 of the mini panel which has all this functionality included and more. By Bill McClellan.
