IMPORTANT
Event is Saturday 22nd July - sorry for the mix-up

On behalf of the Online Flying Department; we would like to announce this months Fly-in.

Manchester (EGCC) is the chosen destination and the departure from Brussels National (EBBR). This event is going to take place this weekend and the date is:

Saturday 22nd July 2006 @ 18:00z (19:00 UK local, 20:00 CET)

Full details about the event (ie: route, star, aircraft, charts) are in the "Online Section" of the main site.

Its around 286 nm so it should take you just over an hour in the B738, however, Class 4 or above aircraft allowed for the event (dont worry about your current rank).

ATC

Im trying to get a full coverage of ATC for the entire flight, so far we have

EGCC_TWR -> Rico Allee S3
EGTM_CTR -> Conrad Oldcorn C1
EGTL_CTR -> Luke Bowes C2
EBBU_CTR -> Hopefully Someone

Let us know whether you can make it, so we have an idea of numbers.

Regards

Conrad

You can add a ground to that control group;D

But, if there is all control, no traffic, I will fly.

That could be the case, i suggest you fly, there would be no reason to open ground as all your going to be saying to each pilot is "Taxi to stand xx via xx report on blocks" (except for some departures), i suggest you fly ;)

You could add me as ground (possibly) but I don't know whether you'd need me.

Steve, of course you can!

At the moment there isn't any EBBU_CTR, so that will be unicom or unless someone comes on as APP or Twr etc, but you will be fine, you will be under great hands from Luke, myself and rico :) All details on the main page any questions, just ask me ;) or the MT.

Im sure raza will take care of you from EBBR ;)

I'm also Willing to help in anyway I can;D

Slight problem though. I went to print off the charts for a little run through today, and I ran out of black ink.:@

Hopefully, I can get a new cartridge in time by the flight, and I'm sure I will. I'll run down the street to the printer shop!

My dog stepped on my little toe when chasing the cat, cuz the cat stole his fav. barbie doll. So now I'm not so sure I'll be able to press the PTT button to provide ATC. Hopefully itwill be cured in time by the flight, and I'm sure it will. Ill run down the street to the pharmacy to get a 'teletubbies' bandage :%

Stop trying to wuss out on your C1 exam Rico. It's a dog, not a Shetland Pony (what breed is it??? Bull Mastif's can get pretty huge...)

 I've spent $25 on the new version of RealityXP GNS530 so I can make my "private" Avanti fly nicely again, and I'm not going to have that spoiled...

;)


I'm going to try to participate, but as the MT know, this week is a little hectic for me so I'm not goin to make promises.

Oh, and Steve, you're most welcome to take part, no matter whether this will be your first flight online or you're a 1,000+ hr veteran (like what I am...)

We (the online flying department) try to make all the fly-ins "newb friendly" spaces where everyone can learn something. Just make sure you've read the Online Flying Manual before you start, and even if you choose not to use voice comms (it's very much easier on you and ATC if you do though), do listen in on the various facilities so you can hear the radio procedures.
