Rotorua to Whangarei Achievement

Single achievement

Rotorua to Whangarei

Official achievement authored by Clorix.

This leg will see you visit Whangarei, located north-northwest of Auckland. It is known for its plentiful opportunities to experience the outdoors in various ways, including kayaking, fishing and hiking. The city is surrounded by beautiful forests, mountains and rivers. The airport here is located in the center of a small peninsula, and is surrounded by homes on all sides. This is important to remember as the main runway is only about 3,600 feet in length. You certainly don’t want to overrun it here!

For flight planning purposes, if you incorporate the H114 airway from FALLS to the HN (Hamilton) VOR, you may be able to spot Hobbiton, the famed home of the hobbits from the Lord of the Rings series. Look out the right side of your aircraft just before reaching GODOK for a chance to catch a glimpse of it in the sim!

Note: This achievement was created in celebration of the Microsoft Flight Simulator World Update XII - New Zealand release, but you may complete the flight in any simulator of your choice!

Criteria

Depart from NZRO, fly to and land at NZWR (169 NM).
