Every year, the monsoon sweeps across South Asia—disrupting lives, cutting off communities, and grounding all but the boldest flights. This June, Sky League members will face the storm in one of Odyssey Aviation’s most intense missions to date.
Operation: Monsoon Express – Aid Under Pressure
From cloud-choked Himalayan passes to flooded coastal strips, this themed mission takes you into the heart of the storm. Simulate real-world aid delivery, weather recon flights, and emergency evacuation missions—powered by live weather and realistic terrain.
🏆 Contest Details
This isn’t just a mission—it’s a competition.
Sky League members flying Pilops-dispatched missions during June will compete for points, recognition, and the top reward:
🎁 Grand Prize: A GTN 750 license from PMS50
💰 Value: €50
Scoring Criteria
The leaderboard is based on three key performance areas:
| Metric | How to Earn |
|---|---|
| ✈️ Total Flight Hours | Complete Pilops-dispatched flights for airline ODY during the contest period. |
| 🛫 Number of Flights | Each completed flight for ODY counts. Fly often, even short STOL missions matter. |
| 💬 Total Discord XP | Complete tasks to earn XP via MEE6. |
All three metrics are weighted equally—so consistency matters. A pilot who flies often, logs good hours, and stays active in Discord will rise to the top.
Earn points on Discord by completing the following tasks:
| Task | Points |
|---|---|
| Complete a Pilops mission and submit log | +15 |
| Post a picture or video of your flight in Discord | +5 |
| Join the weekly Sky League Dispatch flight | +10 |
| Takeoff or land at a designated challenge airport | +8 |
| Fly with another ODY pilot (formation or escort) | +7 |

Recommended STOL Aircraft for the Mission
For wet runways, short fields, and steep approaches, the following aircraft are ideal:
✅ Highly Recommended for Monsoon Relief Ops
| Aircraft | Why It’s Ideal |
|---|---|
| DHC-6 Twin Otter | STOL workhorse, rugged, ideal for rough strips, high elevation ops, and heavy weather. |
| Cessna 208 B Grand Caravan EX | Excellent payload, stable in bad weather, perfect for mid-range relief flights. |
| Pilatus PC-12 | Versatile, fast, great range, excellent for connecting distant relief hubs in challenging terrain. |
| De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver | Classic STOL platform, ideal for short hops into flooded rural areas with tight strips. |
⚠️ Also Solid for Specific Roles
| Aircraft | Best Use Case |
|---|---|
| Beechcraft King Air 350i | For longer-range supply runs or VIP transport—less ideal for short, rugged airstrips. |
| Daher TBM 930 | Fast and weather-capable, but needs more runway—best for connecting to bigger relief hubs. |
| Beechcraft B58 Baron | Decent twin-engine performance, good for mid-range supply missions. |
| Beechcraft B60 Duke | Fast and capable, but not optimized for STOL or rough strips. |
