Extreme weather in the Azores

(1/2) > >>

EHM-1714 João:
Hello!

I just tought to let you all know that we are going to have an hurricane hitting the Azores today by the end of the day. It might be a nice time to test your skills! I bet that as usual we are going to have a power cut, but I will try to open an ATC position at LPPD or LPLA or even Santa Maria Control (LPPO) on IVAO.
Have fun!

Cheers,
João

EHM-1798 Conrad:
Yup England is getting the back end of the hurricane, very very windy where i am :P

EHM-0654 Murray:
Oooh... Possibilities of the heavy weather badge later on then...

EHM-0948 Bruno:
Hi,

Murray don't forget that on Santa Maria Center, to be realistic you need to use Oceanic Procedures because we don't have civil aeronautical radar there. Only military.

Regards,

EHM-1714 João:
Olá Bruno,

Actually to fly on Santa Maria terminal you don't need to know Oceanic procedures, you only need to know how to do position reports, now, Santa Maria Oceanic is a totaly different story :>
BTW, we already have radar installed. It's located at Santa Maria Island but it's still on tests. It's funny when we local enthusiasts go to the controll tower here in Ponta Delgada and we get to see the controllers TRYING not to look at the radar screen. I think that I will miss seing them doing all the math for traffic separation!

Cheers,
João
