Simulation Date/Time : Current date set to daylight.
Weather : Real World / Fair weather if real world is unsuitable for VFR operations.
Distance : 225 nm
Est Flight Time : approx 85 mins
Aircraft : Twin engine aircraft such as Douglas DC-3, Aero Commander 560 or similar capable of 165 to 2055 kias.
Communications : For those using FSINN or AVS voice communications can be made on 122.80 or "rw1.vatpac.org/UNICOM_NFFF"/"rw1.vatpac.org/UNICOM_AU". 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.
