FLIGHT DETAILS

Sláinte! :shamrock: It’s said that everybody’s Irish :ireland: on St. Patrick’s Day, so this Friday we’ll be celebrating with a flight over the Emerald Isle co-hosted by our favorite Irish flight sim streamer, @dTwotonemurphy! Murph has created a beautiful flight plan for us along Ireland’s west coast, starting at Sligo and ending at Galway with a few touch & go landings en route. Murph also suggested that it would be great to experience this flight plan via helicopter, so for those rotary-wing enthusiasts among us, this is a perfect opportunity to showcase your skills in the Bell 407 or Guimbal Cabri G2! :helicopter:

Raise your hand if you’re flying the green Bonanza! :raised_hand_with_fingers_splayed:

Is the time of flight accurate after the time change?

Hello @RJFranck,

Yes, the flight starts at 1900Z, which is 3pm ET / noon PT for most of North America after the change to Daylight Saving Time last week.

Thanks,
MSFS Team
