So pilots will be sent a force act on the Fixes above mentioned to make sure they are in the cockpit plus random requests outside this sections of the route if you do not respond the Force act on 20nm inbound to sospi and in tunba you will be disconected with the reason of "abuse of crew rest window" this is a consideration to all of you please do not abuse or miss use it

Hi,

ok guys, I am going to write here some things while I am doing the event.

My departure was very bad, because I forgot to turn off the crash on ground so I crashed a bloody 777 that was going to depart and I had to start all over again.

Now I am on the air, about 21nm inbound OLBEX, and I am at FL310 leveled due to heavy fuel load yet (it marks 95%) :) ..

Also, another pilot is with us! Sven Porschmann!!! Hi Sven!

I am having a problem also ... I can only sleep 45 min in 3.5h :| ... Oh God ...

Now I can go to the kitchen and prepare a pizza ... hhmm ... i think it had spared some from yesterday ... :8

Ok, we now have 33 airplanes on the move ... looks like a big convoy.
Unfortunately I am not taking too much photos because I am afraid it can crash the fs .... but i am going to take one from Ivae too and post it here ;)

ops ... noticed a small problem on the engines ...

They were at 103% :| ... but that was because i forgot to change to VNAV and was on manual altitude yet :| ...

It's solved now and N1 now shows 90% ;) ...

Another curious situation ...

From all the guys flying, i am the only guy flying to MMTO! ...

Don't know why, looks like it can be the very hard precision between-the-mountais approach ?

Here goes the photo ... :

Well, 00:25 here in portugal ...

Just passed the Tahiti islands ... very small islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean :| ...

Still have 3700nm to go .. about 7h+ still to fly ..

I am just got a portuguese guy from TAP that is not from Tap Virtual ... It's from Air France VA .. so, I am trying to convince him to come to our VA ;) ..

wow, my first oceanic procedures ! :8

Was nice, but my FMC says it all (latitude, longitude, mach, FL, next waypoint, etc) !

So, i just had to say what my FMC says and .. that's all..

I also noticed guys that doesnt know what "Mach" is, or True airspeed or how to talk on Oceanic Procedures... Well, maybe it's something that we could motivate our pilots to do so here on ou VA ...

TIAMU waypoint ... now, that sound curious ...

TIAMU = "Te amo" in brazilian , or "Amo-te" in portuguese.

Basically it means "I love you" :)
