Plane: IF it will follow VORs? FLY IT!
Departure Airport : Ten different departures that converge together at the end.
Duration: 2.5 hours – 3.0 hours
This event is like no other. We will take off from all over, and all finish at the same airport to end the event. And if I have planned this carefully, we will all arrive at pretty much the same time. You fly the plane that you like, (as long as it will follow VORs). Only a few things are missing. You won’t use Simbrief, you won’t be in the latest glass panel airliner, and you won’t watch the airplane fly itself. Each of us will have a list of navaids to pass over to get to the end. I will NOT give you a MSFS FLIGHT PLAN, that you can just load and run. We will actually navigate. You can make it as REAL as you WANT it to be! And LIVE WEATHER is ALWAYS encouraged.
Here’s the DEAL, select the departure location that matches YOUR aircraft speed category. You will get a list of instructions. Take off from that location, and actually fly the flight to the end. Easy, huh? Think you can fly on a VOR course? SHOW US! And one more thing, DON’T mixup a plane / departure with a mismatched faster aircraft, or you will be at the end way early (or very LATE). Without further reading, here are the start locations for each speed category.
