dMw January 2015 Fly in

[albert]

It's my work annual conference next week but I hope to make it along.

I suggest everyone load up the route that Sparko has created into FSX as it will make it so much easier to see where we will all be flying. I certainly couldn't make the trip without it unless I manually reset my heading at every waypoint which is a bit finnicky mid flight!

The VLJ Business Jet will be along for the ride! Yes it is tiny

Read as Avenger from Star Citizen without the pledge, oh and you get a few hundred others to try ;-)

change of aircraft to a majestic q400 as the js4100 keeps deciding to fly to the moon....

Not for the fly in....however it would be interesting to see it in flight

Just a reminder chaps that the fly-in is this Wednesday, if everyone can check that everything works OK etc joining the server and the aircraft you want to use is behaving as it should so we can minimise any issues on the night it would be much appreciated. If you need any help with anything between now and then let me or the admins know and I'm sure we can help.

I'm on my way from ENAL to ENBL as we speak...

I'm on my way home now so will be there! Probably with a few Bruin Leffe as its about 80p a bottle and I like it

The theme for this fly-in is Business jets or larger twin engine turbo prop aircraft like the default King Air, try to choose something no bigger than the default Learjet 45 (pictured above), the runway at Bringeland is on the short side so anything bigger could end up being a struggle.

Any pilots interested meet on the server and TeamSpeak around 19:30 GMT ready for take off at around 20:00 GMT. server details can be found here[/CENTER]

We will be taking off from Bringeland on runway 8.  Flight time is roughly 1 hour with a cruising speed of 290 knots.  You can download the .pln file here if you wish to import it into the FSX flight planner, alternatively the flight plan is below:

DCT >> DOPUX >> Z135 >> ADOPI >> ADOPI2L

I'll be taking the Bombardier Learjet 45 then, lovely plane.  

For reference:
ENGM ILS 1L 110.30

For Learjet pilots:
ENBL take off - full flaps & use more than the whole runway, or lower your default fuel by about 3500lbs.   Otherwise you'll take off after the runway ends,  become airborne as the ground drops away into a ditch and then skirt some tree tops as airspeed builds and you eventually climb!

Will be there.
I've noticed in the Orbx Norway scenery that runway is aligned and numbered as '7', but don't suppose that will present problems.

Piccie at the end...

Well done chaps, that was very successful and I like how we landed one after another, being the first to land it was very cool to watch. Hope you all enjoyed it, if you have any suggestions for the next one let me know
