2006-09-29 September Online Department Event

[EHM-0654 Murray]

This month, we offer EuroHarmony pilots a short IFR hop over the Pyranees from France to Portugal, in support of our Lisbon Hub Manager, Ricardo Plácido, and the IVAO divisions of the northen Mediterranean.

The event begins in the French city of Bordeaux (LFBD), from where we head a little over 550nm westwards to Lisbon in Portugal (LPPT).

Use this thread to discuss the event, and more information is available (including charts and flightplans) on the Online Event page

Hello Murray.

I'll be at LFBD almost for sure and I hope we'll have more luck to fly together. Will you try to organize any possible ATC on IVAO?

Not especially. Spain has good coverage most of the time, as does France (and as we know, Portugal is getting better...)

And for information, I took the B738 up offline to check on timings for the published route. Can't be too precise (I really should have used the FLogger, and the AP was a little slow in taking over through 3,000...) but gate to gate took approx. 1:45 at FL400 0.790M.

I will be there. Will fly the PMDG 747.

Let's see, I think that's 0600 for me, Saturday morning. I'll see closer to the date if I'm willing to get up that early! Don't count on my presence, though

[EHM-1001 Robert]

Hi Ben,

if I were you, I would move the friday night party to saturday, so I could be there on the morning

[EHM-0654 Murray]

Ben, if you think you could make it a little later, we could bump the start by up to an hour. I'd really like to keep some "sunlight" for the whole trip, just to make the screenies mildly interesting. A 19:00Z departure for the "tail-end Charlies" should be doable and still give them a little daylight to play with.

It's today ! Don't forget ...
