Introduction

My wife Rosie and I have been playing Sky Team for a while now; we've been through all the airports at least twice, so I thought it would be fun to design some tracks of my own. Thanks to Rosie for testing these with me; we've managed to complete all of them unless otherwise noted.

Do check back from time to time; I'll be tweaking and adding new content frequently.

New Tracks

A quick guide to my track ratings. You'll see a quantity of chili peppers by some of the tracks; these are added complications that do not change the quantity of dice you have spare (e.g. fuel leak, interns). You'll also see a number - this is how many dice you should have left over if you play perfectly.

Each track is presented in four progressive difficulty levels, following the standard Sky Team protocol:

Note that when chosing special abilities, "Control" and "Synchronisation" effectively give you extra dice and will therefore reduce the difficulty.

AirportTrackNotes
Card showing L F Wade airport and description Card showing L F Wade airport scenario details BDA tracks in pdf format Ever wondered why the Bermuda Triangle has a reputation? Well, you're about to find out! Starts at medium difficulty, and ends up pretty insane. The black track is not for the fainthearted.

Bermuda has the Rosie seal of approval.Boards range from easy (green) to insane (black) but are achievable.
Card showing Dublin airport and description Card showing Dublin airport scenario details DUB tracks in pdf format Dublin is home to a well-known, ultra-low budget airline. These tracks are all about fuel management :)

All tested and achievable.
Card showing Kai Tak airport and description Card showing Kai Tak airport scenario details HKG tracks in pdf format Kai Tak airport closed in 1998, but was famous for its dangerous flight path through the surrounding city and mountains. It became referred to as the 'Kai Tak Heart Attack', because the planes turned so close to the ground; at under 45m, this was less the wingspan of a medium-size airliner. The turn was so low that passengers could see television sets running in people's residences near the airport. Here's an interesting video on Kai Tak airport.
Anyhow, these tracks are all about the starting height and the sharp turns :)

All tested and achievable.
Card showing Munich airport and description Card showing Munich airport scenario details MUC tracks in pdf format It's all about the coffee. Pilot Stephen likes Celebes Kalossi (black, filtered or cafetière).

All tested and achievable.
Card showing Juancho E Yrausquin airport and description Card showing Juancho E Yrausquin airport scenario details SAB tracks in pdf format With high hills on one side, sheer drops at each end, the shortest commercial runway (400m, but only 275m of it usable), and heavy crosswinds, landings at Saba require precise manoeuvres, including steep descents and late flares.
Medium difficulty, with increasing spiciness.

All tested and achievable.
Card showing Daocheng Yading airport and description Card showing Daocheng Yading airport scenario details DCY tracks in pdf format Daocheng Yading is the highest civilian airport. Safe landings can be a challenge, with strong winds and turbulence common at higher altitudes. Most flights stop in winter, due to bad weather.
High altitude brings its own challenges. Air density decreases with altitude; this reduces the power output from an aircraft's engine and also requires a higher true airspeed to keep the aircraft airborne. Landings and takeoffs become particularly difficult.

In beta testing.
Card showing Harry Reid International airport and description Card showing Harry Reid International airport scenario details LAS tracks in pdf format Harry Reid International Airport is an international airport serving the Las Vegas Valley, a metropolitan area in the U.S. state of Nevada. It is located five miles (8 km; 4 nmi) south of downtown Las Vegas, in the unincorporated area of Paradise, and covers 11.3 km2 of land.

In beta testing.
Card showing the International Space Station and description Card showing the International Space Station scenario details ISS tracks in pdf format Something a little different; take a trip to the International Space Station.

All tested and achievable.

Card Formatting and Printing

The cards are formatted with a bleed area ready to be printed at Make Playing Cards as Custom Game Cards (63 x 88mm).

The stats in the top corner of the airports are just in case if anyone fancies playing top trumps with the cards :)
