    Event Details Simulation Date/Time : Current date set to daylight. Weather : Real World / Fair weather if real world is unsuitable for VFR operations. Distance : 158 nm Est Flight Time : approx 75 mins Aircraft : Single or twin engine aircraft such as Beechcraft Baron, Mooney Bravo or similar capable of 145 to 175 kias. Altitude : Up to FL125. Flightplan File as : YMNE YABS YYAB YBLU YLST YLAW YBNC YSED YLEO YMMI GPS Flightplan is available for FSX and X-Plane FMS and also provided is the original Plan-G flightplan for those that find this useful all enclosed within a Zip archive. Navigation : Pilots familiar with the area can navigate visually, for those less familiar the accompanying GPS Flightplan is the recommended method of navigating the flight plan. Communications Australia uses CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency) for radio comms at uncontrolled airfields. Now that VATSIM has introduced AFV (Audio For VATSIM) CTAF can now be used across all VATSIM approved pilot clients. Pilots are requested to tune to the published frequency as detailed in the flight details for an event when operating in or around an aerodome to make and monitor CTAF broadcasts. Pilots should also be aware that it is a VATSIM COC (Code of Conduct) requirement that all pilots at uncontrolled airfields should monitor Unicom (Australia 122.80). It is highly recommended that pilots ensure that at least one of their "on board" COM radios (COM 2 being the most likely) is tuned to receive unicom transmissions in addition to transmitting and receiving on the published CTAF frequency. Please Note. All pilots should also be vigilant regarding the receipt of text on both unicom and CTAF. If it is discovered there is a pilot participating that is unable to receive voice transmissions, pilots should arrange to also broadcast via text to ensure those pilots without the benefit of voice is able to receive appropriate broadcasts. VATSIM provides an update guide for getting AFV working on each of the approved pilot clients.

Now that VATSIM has introduced AFV (Audio For VATSIM) CTAF can now be used across all VATSIM approved pilot clients. Pilots are requested to tune to the published frequency as detailed in the flight details for an event when operating in or around an aerodome to make and monitor CTAF broadcasts. Pilots should also be aware that it is a VATSIM COC (Code of Conduct) requirement that all pilots at uncontrolled airfields should monitor Unicom (Australia 122.80). It is highly recommended that pilots ensure that at least one of their "on board" COM radios (COM 2 being the most likely) is tuned to receive unicom transmissions in addition to transmitting and receiving on the published CTAF frequency. Please Note. All pilots should also be vigilant regarding the receipt of text on both unicom and CTAF. If it is discovered there is a pilot participating that is unable to receive voice transmissions, pilots should arrange to also broadcast via text to ensure those pilots without the benefit of voice is able to receive appropriate broadcasts.

Weather : Real World / Fair weather if real world is unsuitable for VFR operations. Distance : 75 nm Est Flight Time : approx 80 mins Aircraft : Pilots are encouraged to source an ultra light or rotor wing for this flight. The total distance is only 75nm so the aircraft should be limited to a speed no greater than 90 knots. Minimal to no navigational equipment is required. Typical examples include Piper Cub, Air Creation Trike, ELA 07 (Gyro copter), Robinson R-22. Altitude : 1000ft over populated areas otherwise 500ft AGL or as required.

    Event Details Christmas is imminent so this event departs from Indonesian airport Husein Sastranegara-Bandung Airport and flies south west over the ocean below oceanic controlled airspace to Christmas Island Australia. Since the majority of the flight is over water and lacks any visual references, pilots will be required use instrument navigation to complete the flight. Modern GPS is discouraged for this flight and as such no flightplans will be provided. Instead pilots are encouraged to navigate "old school" making use of modest radio navigation. As such, older classic twin engine aircraft are a good choice for use on this flight. Simulation Date/Time : Current date set to daylight. Weather : Real World weather as the flight is easily undertaken in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) as IFR. Distance : 240 nm Est Flight Time : approx 75 mins Aircraft : Twin engine aircraft of 'yester-year' such as Douglas DC-3, Aerocommander AC-56 or similar capable of 160 to 190 kias. Altitude : Initially 9000ft to clear terrain but can cruise an altitude at pilot's discretion based on the performance of the aircraft being flown and accompanying traffic. Flightplan File as : WICC DCT YPXM (can be either VFR or IFR) GPS Flightplan is NOT available for this particular flight, however for new pilots looking for a "leg up", one can be easily created within their respective simulators. Navigation : Pilots are encouraged to utilise on board radio navigation, preferably VOR and DME, however pilots wishing to truly challenge themselves might opt to fly using ADF to track via NDBs. Both the departure and arrival airports are equipped with long range VOR/DME so pilots will be able to reference at least one of these during all phases of the flight. Those taking the NDB challenge will need to dead reacon the latter phase since Christmas Island is not equipped with an NDB. If they are lucky it might be possible to source a VHF transmitter instead. Communications Australia uses CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency) for radio coms at uncontrolled airfields. This flight will also assume similar operation within Indonesia and adopt the tower frequency as the CTAF when they are uncontrolled. Now that VATSIM has introduced AFV (Audio For VATSIM) CTAF can now be used across all VATSIM approved pilot clients. Pilots are requested to tune to the published frequency as detailed in the flight details for an event when operating in or around an aerodome to make and monitor CTAF broadcasts. Pilots should also be aware that it is a VATSIM COC (Code of Conduct) requirement that all pilots at uncontrolled airfields should monitor Unicom (Australia 122.80). It is highly recommended that pilots ensure that at least one of their "on board" COM radios (COM 2 being the most likely) is tuned to receive unicom transmissions in addition to transmitting and receiving on the published CTAF frequency. Please Note. All pilots should also be vigilant regarding the receipt of text on both unicom and CTAF. If it is discovered there is a pilot participating that is unable to receive voice transmissions, pilots should arrange to also broadcast via text to ensure those pilots without the benefit of voice is able to receive appropriate broadcasts.

Navigation : Pilots familiar with the area can navigate visually, for those less familiar the accompanying GPS Flightplan is the recommended method of navigating the flight plan. Communications Australia uses CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency) for radio comms at uncontrolled airfields. Now that VATSIM has introduced AFV (Audio For VATSIM) CTAF can now be used across all VATSIM approved pilot clients. Pilots are requested to tune to the published frequency as detailed in the flight details for an event when operating in or around an aerodome to make and monitor CTAF broadcasts. Pilots should also be aware that it is a VATSIM COC (Code of Conduct) requirement that all pilots at uncontrolled airfields should monitor Unicom (Australia 122.80). It is highly recommended that pilots ensure that at least one of their "on board" COM radios (COM 2 being the most likely) is tuned to receive unicom transmissions in addition to transmitting and receiving on the published CTAF frequency. Please Note. All pilots should also be vigilant regarding the receipt of text on both unicom and CTAF. If it is discovered there is a pilot participating that is unable to receive voice transmissions, pilots should arrange to also broadcast via text to ensure those pilots without the benefit of voice is able to receive appropriate broadcasts. VATSIM provides an update guide for getting AFV working on each of the approved pilot clients.
