Show Notes:
In this episode Nicolas makes a series of very questionable decisions while flying The TorqueSim Cirrus SR22 in the remote wilds of central Canada contending with icing conditions, poor weather and an instrument failure. While this virtual airplane can be used again and no pixels were harmed, Nicolas tries to use the experience as a learning opportunity as they continue their increasingly foolhardy virtual SR22 trip from Chico, CA, US to Newcastle, England in a late Spring that doesn’t want to thaw as part of The Simply Magpie Extreme Tour.
Come ride along to see the incredible teaching potential of virtual aviation!

Logging errors make it hard to conform but I think this was my longest SR22 Leg so far!
I had issues with Volanta so not all of the flight was logged.
