Departure Airport and Route Suggestions

For a straightforward entry to the aerial circuit, pilots can load directly out of CYQG (Windsor International Airport) and fly toward the Detroit River. The short approach from the runway to the city offers ample time to set up for a low-level pass through the pylons, creating an adrenaline-filled race experience. Seasoned sim pilots can also incorporate real weather to simulate cross-border wind patterns affecting flight stability.
