Aussie Group Flights Team - Perth Surrounds

In this event, suggested by Frank, we fly around the scenic Perth area in a C172. We begin our journey at Garden Island and perform Touch and Goes on a number of airports and strips from large airports like Jandakot to small strips like Langley Park airstrip. We fly over scenic areas like the Perth CBD and Fremantle, take up some coastal scenery and after a rest break at Gigin, we make our way to Perth Intl airport.

Details to follow. Hope you can join us.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS INFORMATION IS FOR FLIGHT SIMULATION USE ONLY.

That looks very interesting. Is the DHC-6 Twin Otter ok? Maybe a bit too fast? And will a downloadable flight plan be available otherwise I must get busy creating one.

Plan will issue shortly.

Event added to my Calendar. Meet you in WA

Event reminder …

Hi Cinnamon…I would love to join the group flight..I am very newbie and old.
Do I need to add you as a friend to get started. ?
I am on Xbox and it’s says I must upgrade to play multiplayer.
Is that true…seems harsh.
I am in Brisbane..
Luv to get your advice.
Cheers
Kenzo

Hi Kenzo,

We have a few Xbox pilots that join the events. I use PC for the group flights so I don’t understand the multiplayer aspect of using Xbox. Can you join the discord server and in the Chat channel, just ask any questions regarding the Xbox requirements. I’m sure one of our helpful people will respond and provide the information you need.

Again the Discord link is Discord

Regards, Paul

Thanks Paul.
Will give Discord a try.
