Simulation Date/Time: Current date set to daylight. Weather: Real World / Fair weather if real world is unsuitable for VFR operations. If not using live weather, please be mindful of others who are using live weather and will be taking off and landing into the wind. Distance: 70 nm Est Flight Time: approx 45-60 min decurrent on aircraft. As this is a very short flight, pilots may wish to do it twice in different aircraft. Aircraft: Any slow aircraft such as Piper Cub, Edgley Optica, de Havilland Tiger Moth, autogyro, ultralight or helicopter. Altitude: See waypoint notes below. Flight plan File as: YAYE DCT YAYE An approximate 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 however this this only an approximate representation of the route. Do not directly overfly Uluru, Kata Tjuta and sensitive areas. 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. Flight details Remain on CTAF 126.9 throughout. Callsign is AYERS ROCK RADIO. To avoid confusion, refer to the aerodrome as "Ayers Rock" and the rock itself as "The Rock". Make inbound and outbound calls at "The Rock" and "The Olgas" and when ascending or descending.
