This bush trip follows the path of the Via Francigena from Canterbury to Rome. You will fly from England, cross the France in a North - East diagonal, cross Switzerland from North to South, and go to the center of Italy.

The navlog was thought in order to be able to follow the route without referring to precise heading and ETE. So there are precise descriptions of the path to follow and relatively shorts distance between waypoints (an average of about 2 or 3 minutes). However some waypoints are difficult to reach without referring ETE and a precise heading.

I made the bushtrip in order to fly just over the cities on the route of the Via Francigena, so the track is tightly connected to the hicking trail.

There are 12 legs, with ETE from 50 to 100 nm, with an ETE of about 20 to 45 minutes.

The bushtrip is available in 15 languages thanks to DeepL translator.

Two files are available for the download, the main one where the plane is the Cessna Skyhawk, the second where the plane is the Beechcraft V35 Bonanza (Payware). A suited cruise speed for this bushtrip is 150 knots.
