LPPT-LPPM

[EHM-2219Generoso]

I just flew the LPPT-LPPM flight that I found on the timetable.
I can't seem to file the PIREP because the page reports it as an invalid flight number (E001).

Just found out that it is an event flight and something tells me that this can only be filed thru propilot .

Hi Generoso,

E001 is indeed and event flight and is now locked for use with both ProPilot and manual Pireps. The reason is this was the first leg of the 2006 Lisbon-Dakar event which closed after a couple of days. unfortunately there are quite a lot of these flights in the general timetable and we have to leave them in otherwise pilots will lose the hours... It is a conundrum we have not found a way of solving yet......

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Cheers,
Phil
