Crazy Idea of fly-in

<< < (3/3)

EHM-1465 Dominic:
Vincent,

Sorry, I missed this post until now :$

I think it would be great to have a route that goes South from Zurich towards the Alps (for dramatic scenery), incorporates a twisty SID for some take-off challenge, continues to somewhere near Luzern (good visual scenery for identification of the turn around point) then turns North again for a twisty STAR approach to land again.

This would make the route interesting both visually and procedurally but not too long.

It's only a rough idea so I'm very open to other suggestions :P

I also would need advice from one of our experienced Air Traffic Controllers as to how this would work within IVAO or VATSIM and if this kind of route might cause major headaches to ATC ;)

What does everyone else think..? It could be a really great event for Zurich :P

Hi Dominic,

I agree,  your idea sounds good. Only too many twists may call for extra headache for the controller who will have to keep the separations :]

But I am really game for take off challenges and landings too. Will look forward to what other members of this group feel and then we go with the easiest of the difficult lot!!

Since Dominic you have come up with some names, I will sit and see if I can set up a pattern which we could all feed into our flight plan and then fly the same plane, so that max speeds will be kind of restricted and controlled too. Similarly landing and take offs and other maneuvers will also be predictable. I guess the best bet will be prop planes, class 2 or 3 planes would be the best for this event rather than bigger birds!!
