On Tuesday 3rd August 2021, at 8pm BST (1900Z) we will host an IFR flight from KSNA John Wayne Intl, to KSFO San Francisco Intl.
Pilots are requested to follow published standard instrument departures and standard approach routes, taking off one-after-another with generous separation. While we do not operate air traffic controllers, we at least want to avoid total chaos. Between the SID and STAR, pilots are free to follow routes of their own design.
We are an inclusive, relaxed group - we recognise that some may not have flown IFR before, or operated the commercial jets, so encourage mentoring from more experienced pilots as much as possible.
Although take-off is scheduled for 8pm, it may be worth arriving early to setup your aircraft, and/or to help others set-up theirs. Use the streaming functionality in Discord!
