Event Details
Simulation Date/Time : Current date set to daylight.
Weather : Real World / Fair weather if real world is unsuitable for VFR operations.
Distance : 187 nm
Est Flight Time : approx 80 mins
Aircraft : Single or twin turbine engine aircraft such as Beechcraft King Air, Pilatus PC-12 or similar capable of 175 to 225 kias.
Communications : New Zealand uses CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency) for radio comms at uncontrolled airfields however there are no resources to support individual frequencies as such the use of voice unicom 122.80 is recommended. VATSIM pilots connecting to the network using FSCOPILOT/FSINN can install an additional file that provides the ability to tune the CTAF frequency and make voice announcements to other pilots on frequency. These files can be obtained via this link.
For pilots connecting to VATSIM using VPilot, there is a work around that enables these pilots to also take advantage of online voice CTAF. Refer to this informative VATPAC Forum post to learn how to implement the work around.
