Bit short notice, but there's no reason not to endorse any new pilots that would like to learn about IVAO taking part in this event.
Further, if any of us that know how to fly/ATC aren't already going to be busy next Sunday (me for starters), we can open a small field in advance of this event for "pre-solo" training for the IVAO "newbs" - hold a "lecture" on what you need to be doing at each stage and so forth, maybe even fly a circuit for each new pilot for "testing". (Any pilots that want to volunteer for this and haven't already turned on "I want to ATC" in their IVAO profile should do so before the event, it'll just make it easier if the teaching staff are all "ATC"...)
Having said that, who would be interested if such an event were organised? If it's only going to be one or two pilots, I can do that myself easily enough, many more and I'd appreciate assistance.
BenH, *if* you're not already busy with the Manchester event, and this proposed pre-training event goes ahead, any chance you can hang around after so we can discuss APP/DEP?
