Again, a trip about islands. This time the Canary Islands, beautifully located in the Atlantic Ocean. The Canaries, as they are mentioned are rugged volcanic isles known for there black and white sandy beaches.
The Canary Islands are the southernmost region of Spain, and the largest and most populous archipelago of Macaronesia. Because of their location, the Canary Islands have historically been considered a link between the four continents of Africa, North America, South America, and Europe.
The islands have warm summers and winters warm enough for the climate to be technically tropical at sea level. The amount of precipitation and the level of maritime moderation vary depending on location and elevation. The archipelago includes green areas as well as desert areas. The islands’ high mountains are ideal for astronomical observation, because they lie above the temperature inversion layer. As a result, the archipelago boasts two professional observatories: Teide Observatory on the island of Tenerife, and Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on the island of La Palma.
From this text you can see that it will be worth your while to visit the 7 islands with an airport, and be sure there is a lot to see.
The trip is 7 legs and takes 527 NM, the plane is a Diamond DA-62. At the first airport your plane is cold and dark, but with the next airports it is just waiting for you at the runway. Originally the trip was designed as a VOR-navigation trip. So, feel free to explore that, all information is provided.
You can change the weather and with the MissionChanger you can pick another plane to your liking.
The trip is multi-lingual. All languages for Flight Simulator are present. Because of the way the TSS is triggered, these texts are not integrated in the FlightBook, but provided in a separate zip-file. These are the results of a direct translation and therefore not edited. It will help non-English-speaking people to better understand what is happening. English (US) is the main language, all others languages a DeepL translations, excluded Norwegian.

Thanks to all creators of these add-ons. Thanks to Alexander Barthel for LittleNavmap. Thanks to BuffyGC for his BushTripInjector and MissionChanger.
And last but not least: Thanks to ProfSC for his advice, testing and being sounding board.
This allowed me to learn more about the Canary Islands and using the G1000 at the same time. Great fun!

Hi. Is there a way to remove the Narrators writting that is displayed in the centre of the screen? It stay too long and its difficult to see the instruments.

Hey Frontech... Did you forget to finish it? What's the score with Legs 6 & 7? Legs 6 & 7 the ETE's are listed as 00.00 and the Nav log is blank .

Hey Sparky147... No, of course I did not forget to finish it. But I left an error in the FLT-file, which caused the NavLog to be corrupted. Changed this and uploaded 1.1 today. Thanks for you attentiveness.
By the way I have the text and image for legs 6 and 7 provided in the Flight Book. So you could have seen the legs were there.
Anyway Thanks again.
