In preparation for a series of regional turbo prop routes around Australia, I am conducting a series to get on top of the systems for flying the ATR.
The format the sessions will take is to carry out the exercise together, reset the sim and then have a go yourself. Following sessions will build on the earlier sessions, allowing for lots of repetition.
Join us at Rotorua in New Zealand, as we conduct our first exercise - Cold and Dark to Ready to Take Off.
Exercise Route: Rotorua to Auckland
Details to follow. Hope you can join us.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS INFORMATION IS FOR FLIGHT SIMULATION USE ONLY.
Regards, Paul
Note: I am not an ATR pilot. Just another simmer offering to assist other simmers to fly the aircraft.
I am an event organiser and have to date organised in excess of 300 events for MSFS.
I have planned a number of events around Turbo Prop Routes in Australia, to be run when the CJ4 World Tour completes (in a few more weeks). These sessions are to prepare pilots to feel more comfortable with the aircraft.
My events are easy going, fun and all are welcome. Feel free to join in.
