Route Suggestions YSBK-YAYE (Ayres Rock)
I am in the initial planning stages of a flight from Bankstown to Ayres Rock Return, in our nice new Jab J170.
Initial route will be YSBK- Condobolin- Broken Hill- Leigh Creek- Marree-William creek- Coober pedy- then generally follow the Sturt Hwy to Ayres Rock. 3 days flying from Ayres rock on numerous sight seeing flights.
Initial planning show we will be flying 5 hrs average over 3 days. in Mid June.
Return will be reverse of same route.
Im basically after some advice, suggestions and traps to be aware of during such trip.
Fuel shouldnt be a problem with 130 Ltrs on board. and im aware of planning ahead for fuel stops out of drums etc.
Is June the best for flying conditions?
Is Kings Canyon far from Ayres?
what are your experiences flying in these places?
thanks in advance.
