Take the controls of the Fokker F28 Fellowship for a classic Mediterranean flight from Cagliari-Elmas (LIEE) to Bastia-Poretta (LFKB). Connecting Sardinia and Corsica, this scenic island hop combines coastal views, an open-water crossing, and the pleasure of flying a regional jet full of character.
Your journey begins in Cagliari. Settle into the F28’s analogue cockpit, work through your checks, and prepare for departure. With a relatively short sector ahead, reviewing your route and arrival before takeoff will help you stay ahead of the aircraft once airborne.
Advance the thrust and let the Fellowship carry you into the Mediterranean sky. As you climb away, Sardinia’s landscape unfolds beneath you, with hills, coastline, and blue water stretching into the distance. Follow your departure, settle into the climb, and enjoy the distinctive atmosphere of classic jet aviation.
In cruise, monitor your instruments, check your navigation, and take in the view. Depending on your route and the weather, you may see Sardinia slip behind you as Corsica begins to appear ahead. The crossing offers a brief pause between the busy departure and the preparations for landing.
Before long, it’s time to plan your descent. Review the destination weather, brief your chosen approach, and establish your landing speeds. The F28 rewards thoughtful energy management, making a well-planned descent a satisfying part of the flight.
Corsica’s rugged mountains provide a dramatic backdrop as you approach Bastia. Bring your focus back to the cockpit, manage your speed, and configure the aircraft according to its procedures. Choose clear skies for a scenic arrival, or add wind and cloud for a more demanding simulator challenge.
On final, keep the Fellowship stable, make small corrections, and guide it toward the runway. Complete the landing and rollout, then taxi to your stand as another Mediterranean sector comes to an end.
From Sardinia to Corsica, this flight brings together island scenery and classic airliner charm. Prepare the F28, take the controls, and enjoy a short journey that makes every phase of flight count.
