The most stupid thing to do during an EHM event

(1/23) > >>

EHM-1703 Philip:
Hello Pilots.

As you now know, the next ProPilot event has been announced and the official event pages will be available soon.  

As always Pre-Booking of planes is essential during our ProPilot events so if you are interested in taking part in the event, please book a plane by sending an Email to our Fleet Development Captain, Robert. His email address is:

robert@fly-euroharmony.com

IMPORTANT Planes may only be booked by emailing Robert and requesting that a plane is locked for you in Stockholm. DO NOT POST REQUESTS FOR PLANES IN THE FORUMS as your request could easily get missed.

More details about the event will be forthcoming but to help you decide whether you want to take part here are some points about the event:

1) The event will consist of 9 legs of varying lengths, but the majority will be around 1 - 3 hours in duration with the exception of two long haul legs which we anticipate being abut 4-5 Hours in duration.

2) The event will take place over 5 weeks and flights will be scheduled as follows:
First week – 2 Legs
Second Week – 2 Legs
Third Week - 1 Legs (Long Haul)
Fourth Week – 1 Legs (Long Haul)
Fifth Week – 3 Legs

3) Planes will be locked to the pilot and only one plane will be issued for the duration of the event. Please take care of our old museum aircraft!

4) Legs must be flown in order and can only be flown for up to one week after the leg initially becomes active.

As mentioned, more details and the event page will be available soon but I would urge all interested pilots to register for a plane with Robert as the event starts in 10 days! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to post a comment here.

I'm sorry guys, I cannot make this one. I will be in Croatia during the first two legs:[

Have fun everyone else!

EHM-1465 Dominic:
To help you prepare for this Event I suggest you have a look at the following videos by a German simpilot called Johann who has posted a very helpful tutorial series on the Delco Carousel INS at Youtube...

Although the manuals that come with the INS are very good, some of you may find the videos more helpful at demonstrating how to get it all working! And although Johann has his INS fitted in a Lockheed L1011, the tutorial is completely valid for its use on our DC-8 ;)

It takes a little while to get used to but the INS is very easy to use after the first couple of practice runs ;)

Part 1 of the tutorial here
Part 2 here
Part 3 here
Part 4 here.

Have fun!

EHM-1001 Robert:
Hey man, that is fantastic ! What a pleasurable way to learn ;D

Just 2 addition:

1. For an INS you need a perfectly filled flightplan with all the waypoint coordinates and leg distances... we will provide it for the Event. The best is still to have enroute charts too ! Also uncheck GPS and RNAV equipments while flying online, and so the ATC guys will take care of you more ;)

2. To do a DME update, you need to search your maps and find a VOR radio station which is in range, and its position is known to you ! If you decide to update INS1 (left), then tune the radio freq on NAV1 radio. Of course if you decide to update INS2 (right), then tune your NAV2 radio. Update happens until you keep the frequency. If you tune your radio to a new frequency, or the station got out of range, the update process is over. If you selected a station too close, maybe the system will not have enough time to settle down to precision index 1. And do not be afraid, because each INS relies on the same gyroscopes: if you update 1, the other will follow its precision too with a little time delay. ;)
