    Event Details Simulation Date/Time : Current date set to daylight. Weather : Real World / Fair weather if real world is unsuitable for VFR operations. Distance : 260 nm Est Flight Time : approx 90 mins Aircraft : Single or twin engine turboprop aircraft such as Beechcraft King Air, Beechcraft C90, Pilatus PC-12 or similar capable of 185 to 250 kias. Communications Australia uses CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency) for radio comms at uncontrolled airfields. FSCopilot/FSInn 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. Swift Swift is a recent VATSIM Pilot Client alternative now released to the public as a beta release candidate. This pilot client is a one fits all alternative and will work with FSX, P3D V3/V4 and XPlane in either 32 bit Windows or 64 bit Windows, Mac and Linux. This client, once installed and configured (not for the faint of heart - some guidance can be found in this video tutorial for those with X-Plane on Windows x64), also provides a capability for pilots to designate a private voice channel to allow communication with other pilots in the same voice channel. However, to do this requires a frequency over ride to be set allowing the client to ignore the set frequency instead providing text entry into a text box. Into this box the name of the voice room needs to be entered to enable voice communication. A voice room is typically in the form of "some.server.org/<Airport ICAO>". The server component is ALWAYS "rw1.vatpac.org". So this week's departure would use "rw1.vatpac.org/ygte". For airports without an airport ICAO it is typical to use VATPAC VFR Virtual voice room acccessed using 131.25 in FSINN. The equivalent for SWIFT is "rw1.vatpac.org/virtualvfr".

    Event Details This week VFR Operations flies between Moorabbin and Stawell. For the Friday flight, VFR Operations will conduct a "Fly in/Fly out" of the Avalon airshow enroute. As such, the flight is to be conducted in two parts. The first from Moorabbin to Avalon where at the completion of that flight a complete reset occurs prior to conducting the next leg Avalon to Stawell. It is a strong recommendation that pilots undertake some familiarisation with the approaches and departures around Avalon prior to participating in this event. Should there be an ATC presence pilots will be expected to understand the relevant procedures. Simulation Date/Time : Current date set to daylight.
