October Monthly Fly-in Discussion space
EHM-1555 Kendy:
yes we were finally 9 EHM members (5 pilots and 3 controllers, 1 training coordinator)
I am sure we all had a lot of fun. Also we gave all EHM pilots the chance learn how to fly online' and other flying procedure (also for pilots who wants to do the practical exam at IVAO) so we all today did our work and provided a good service for our pilots. I know it isn't always easy to make an appointment which fits for everyone, but on one point we have to make it and we informed every single pilots right on time.....
Thank you very much Gergely, Ben, Murray for the nice and good teamwork today and Yiannis, Phil, Ian, Alex and Henk for flying and exercising today. Also I want to thank our guests from scandinavian airline and danish airforce.
I wish all of you a good night and a happy weekend :]
yours truly,
Kendy Mathes
EHM-1617 Iain:
LOL.. I had a great time.
Went VFR 1st to KIAD from KDCA, then made several touch and go ciruits in KIAD with runway changes (no fault of yours Kendy... blame the wind).
Landed and came back to KDCA IFR, and I couldn't resist the LDA approach. Unfortunately the other runway was in use but I asked Ben if i could circle and thankfully he was very cooperative. For once in FS you can actually see why there is a prohibited/restricted area (there was P-56 area 1.5nm north of the airport, hence LDA approach) - there is a memorial or a tower or something there, there is a Kai Tak style turn low to the ground, and almost as dramatic.
Then I twice tried to depart to KORF from KDCA - 1st time FS crashed when i tried to load the FP, second time, well I ran out of time cos of all the delays of my FS and I was obviously not gonna finish so I got out before I took off. Sorry bout that... but a great event nonetheless.
But Yannis is right... 160 active pilots and only 5 turn up... something is wrong here...
EHM-1703 Philip:
I'm afraid I'm forced to agree Iain. I suppose if there was more traffic online, more people would fly, it's like the chicken and the egg thing! I know a lot of people have other commitments and RL problems, maybe also some people, especially newbies are a bit apprehensive about flying online as well. I know I was at first, but that soon passed after a couple of flights and surely the best time to learn and make the mistakes is while we have the airspace controlled by our own members. Ahhh well! Maybe next month will have a better turnout.
My advice to all is get a headset and get online! It's great fun when you have plenty of other VA members around to chat to. (lets face it, if you make a mistake, it's not like you are going to wipe out 500 + people!)
EHM-1744 Danny:
I wanted to fly online for the first time yesterday, but I had other commitments... Now I don't know if I should try it or wait till the next month...?
EHM-1358 Tim:
