FLIGHT DETAILS
The Community Fly-In Friday World Tour continues!
In this stage, we’ll be leaving Canada behind as we begin our journey across the Atlantic. Due to the necessity of crossing the ocean, we’ll be flying mostly over water until we arrive in Greenland territory. The sightseeing in this flight won’t be up to the usual standards of Community Fly-In Friday, so our panel will be providing “in-flight entertainment” to viewers of the Twitch stream.
Note: this stage and the next few after it will be longer than usual as we make our way across the Atlantic. Once we arrive in continental Europe in a few weeks, we will once again be able to fly shorter distances and better enjoy the scenery.

We will be starting at CYQX. Please load your aircraft 10 minutes prior to take off and taxi over to the runway in preparation for departure.
AIRCRAFT
Recommended aircraft: We have a lot of ground water to cover in this flight, so we are recommending any aircraft of your choice with a very high cruise speed (420+ knots or as close to it as you can get). Any of the jetliners such as the Airbus A320 or Boeing 787 Dreamliner will work, or you could also choose a business jet like the Citation CJ4 or Longitude, a fast jet like the L-39 Albatross from the Reno Air Races collection, or the Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet or another military jet.

It is advised in this flight to turn off both aircraft collisions and terrain collisions. If you do crash, you can use “slew” mode to join the pack. If the pack will be too scattered before the first stop, we will use slew on a defined point to regroup.
COMMUNICATION
To communicate with others, a voice channel on the "Official Microsoft Flight Simulator Discord” at https://discord.gg/msfs will be available to join.
LET’S FLY
This is meant to be a fun and informal flight. Everybody is welcome, no matter the amount of experience.
