    Circumnavigation of Australia - Stage 34 Simulation Date/Time: Current date set to daylight. Weather: Real World / Fair weather if real world is unsuitable for VFR operations. Please note Rule B13 in the VATSIM Code of Conduct regarding weather. Distance: 199 nm Est Flight Time: Approx 80 min. Departure times may be staggered to avoid congestion. Aircraft: Beechcraft Baron or similar aircraft capable of 160 kias. Altitude: Not above FL125. Suggested 2000 ft. Flight plan File as: YNUB YBOV YECL YMDT YFRT GPS flight plan is available for FSX/P3D .pln, MFS2020 .pln, X-Plane .fms and Little Navmap. Navigation: Pilots are encouraged to navigate visually. For those less familiar the GPS flight plan is the recommended method of navigation. Communications Australia uses CTAF (Common Traffic Advisory Frequency) for radio comms at uncontrolled airfields. During an event, Pilots are requested to broadcast intentions on the published CTAF. Pilots should also be aware that it is a VATSIM CoC (Code of Conduct) requirement that all pilots at uncontrolled airfields should monitor UNICOM on 122.800. Pilots should ensure that at least one of their radios (COM 2 being the most likely) is tuned to receive UNICOM transmissions in addition to transmitting and receiving on the published CTAF. Pilots also should read this post regarding the implications of using VATSIM UNICOM for CTAF. It provides some insight into potential pitfalls for the unwary when monitoring 122.80 in a CTAF environment. Scenery Due to the plethora of simulation platforms now being used, scenery is left to the discretion of each pilot. Updated X-Plane scenery is available here.

    This flight traverses the WA end of the Eyre Highway and Nullabour Plain. NOTE : FSX/P3D pilots will require the Alan Blencowe WA scenery (refer to scenery section below) to ensure there is a destination airport in their respective scenery Event Details Simulation Date/Time : Current date set to daylight. Weather : Real World / Fair weather if real world is unsuitable for VFR operations. Distance : 243 nm Est Flight Time : approx 85 mins Aircraft : Single or twin turbine engine aircraft such as Pilatus PC12, Beechcraft C90 King Air or similar capable of 185 to 205 kias. Altitude : Up to 9500. Flightplan File as : YFRT YECT YMDT AU53 YMAD YCKY YCAG 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.

This scenery is not available as an airport at which a pilot can spawn. As such the save facility offers the easiest means of commencing the next flight departing Caiguna. Chart

    This flight over flies the WA end of the Indian Pacific rail line as it traverses the Nullabor Plain. NOTE : FSX/P3D pilots will require the Alan Blencowe WA scenery (refer to scenery section below) to ensure there is a departure airport in their respective scenery. For those FSX/P3D pilots that did not save their position as a flight at the conclusion of the flight to Caiguna an alternative means of positioning the aircraft will need to be sought. The Alan Blencowe Caiguna scenery is not included in the default scenery database and therefore is unavailable as a location at which to spawn. Pilots will need to spawn at a nearby airport such as Esperence and then use the in-built map to drag the aircraft position to the approx area of the desired location ensuring they are airborne and flying and once returned to the sim locate and land at Caiguna in preparation for the flight.
