Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County KSTS → Shelter Cove 0Q5

In the end, I had to hurry a bit as the runway in Shelter Cove isn’t lit, and daylight was running out.

Sacramento Executive KSAC → Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County KSTS

The Beechcraft King Air 350i that ships with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is broken. This was my first and last flight with this particular aircraft.

I had to skip several steps in the startup checklist because there are simply no instruments to monitor the engines.

Also missing: the ability to add departure, arrival, and approach procedures to the flight plan.

So, it ended up being mostly a VFR flight, which, fortunately, worked out fine thanks to the excellent weather.

The King Air 350i in MSFS 2020 is the significantly better version.

This leg’s highlights? San Francisco’s skyline, the Bay’s iconic bridges, the rugged beauty of Point Reyes, and a breathtaking sunset.
