Online long flight group event

<< < (4/24) > >>

EHM-0654 Murray:
Again, not overly representative, but last night at FL410 I was getting 259/54 and 301/41, which would suggest a fair tail wind from KATL.

I'll do proper flight plans in FSNav/Project Magenta tonight and post the findings.

EHM-1343 Jonathan:
I will take the 777-200 LR

Iain (1617) and i reckon there will be a nice stiff tailwind for the trip, so around 6 hours for flight time...Iain said it was something to do with earths rotation, I just agreed ;D

Tim, That will me no prob for the 767 ;D

Any dates ok for me, bu has to be a weekend

EHM-1617 Iain:
Woah, that was just an educated guess from experience and something I heard somewhere. I haven't read it or nuffink.

But the winds aloft usally come from somewhere near the West.

EHM-0654 Murray:
Totally OT, a question for all you PSS 777 pilots out there - how do I silence the NAV radios on it?

And regarding winds, I've had the 777 flying the first leg all evening (took off about 2000Z) and using the route I gave above, I've had an 80+ kt tail wind the whole way so far...

EHM-1358 Tim:
I'm trying to get FSBuild, which would give proper fuel readouts for all your a/c.

On the day, check the winds out here...

Tursty conversion table here...

If the scale dosn't work, you will have to find one. (For the winds)
