Hi everyone! This challenge is for the airport KCDK, a small public paved field on the northern gulf coast of Florida. As a pilot who loves flying to this airport in real life, I wanted to recreate the experience in the form of two landing challenges! This one, in a BE36, is the second of the sequence.

Recommended Scenery:
For the photos, I used the airport scenery from the MSFS Marketplace for $9.99. However, there is an alternative option on flightsim.to that will enhance your sim experience at https://flightsim.to/file/10905/george-t-lewis-airport-kcdk-usa.
Note: I am not affiliated with either publication or developer in any way.
Mission:
You will begin approaching the quaint downtown of Cedar Key proper at 1000'. The airport will be at your 11 O' Clock. Join the final and land on RWY 23.
The Cedar Key airport was opened by the US Army in 1936 and later deeded to Levy County, FL. It is the shorted public, paved runway in the state of Florida! I can attest from personal experience that this is an exciting place to land. Cedar Key is famous for its seafood (if you ever go, try Steamers for their blackened grouper sandwich), coastal life, and small town feel.
Installation Instructions:
Installation is simple. Please move cedar-key-downtown into your Community folder for MSFS. You can find it in game under Activities > Landing Challenges > Epic > Cedar Key Downtown Approach.
Known Bugs/Issues:
- The only issue I'm aware of is that the mission will show the arrival runway as 05 on the briefing screen when the actual arrival runway is 23. This has no bearing on the landing detection or scoring.
Additional Notes:
I will do my best to maintain a leaderboard for each of my landing challenges! All you have to do is upload a screenshot from your flight and the score screen in the comments and I will place you according by your score.
Thank you for trying out my second landing challenge! Any feedback or comments would be appreciated. Don't forget to leave a rating, or request help if not satisfied!
I would love a different scoring algo and maybe "HINTS" to improve ... MSFS is out of its mind on the challenges, ground roll and other numbers dont make any sense... not to mention forgetful, it cant remember my score from 5 monitues ago.
