TVSM (Mustique) to TVSU (Union Island).
TVSU actually has the shortest runway of the airports we visit today at 2'500ft dead on.

I actually skipped a visit to TVSC (Canouan) that is included in the FT version of the Grenadines. But flying over the islands covered in the series was a treat.

Such as this little spot of paradise. Mayreau Island. No airport there and it lies between Union and Canouan Islands.

TVSU is a little tricky as runway 08 is hidden by a hill side and requires a steep approach. Remember I'm winging it here in a bird I have little time in and some airports I know little about.

At least the weather was on my side. I had a bit of a cross wind there but the BN2 is very forgiving.

Leg time was 19 minutes.
Off to TGPZ (Carriacou Island) next

Is the slope effect simulated too? Can you feel the aircraft accelerating faster?
That approach shot over the hill is very neat!
The island views are breathtaking...
Yes fully simulated like your on a hill. Power to get up it and brakes to stay from slipping back down.
I love the way FSX models grass too (not that I landed on grass during these legs). Forever with the brake action.
