Rob H - 811428 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 World Flight 2007 - Starting Monday 05 NOV It's that time of the year again - time to leave the nest and start on our round the world pilgrimage for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. At 1000 AEDT Monday morning, an unprecedented 6 fixed-base and 1 full-motion sim will depart Sydney for a seven day round the world voyage. Check out the World Flight website HERE!!! As usual we will be featuring: LIVE cockpit video feeds LIVE instrument telemetry FULL ATC 24/7 ALL flight planning done for you We also have a few exciting new features. After some basic trials last year, Jeroen Hoppenbrouwers has produced some new software to enable full FANS/CPDLC interaction with ATC. Rather than free-text as used previously, all the standard CPDLC structured messages and features have been accurately modelled. PDC will also be available via TELEX using the same software package. Full details and downloads are here. World Flight invites you to fire up FS and come out and join us on one of our legs. Please also consider purchasing a virtual seat on the aeroplane...from just $5. All funds are receipted, tax-deductible and 100% goes to the RFDS. I'll leave you with a few snaps from our ATC "Centre", freshly setup on Thursday and Friday, just waiting for a week of abuse. As you can see we have increased the size of the operation to 5 fixed consoles. See you in the sky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrence S - 810628 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I can't wait to see the look on Andrew Carr's face when he walks in on Monday. Poor bugger will think he got lost and went to work instead of attending World Flight I echo Rob's call for you guys to grab some flight plans and fly along with us. Don't be worried about flying in foreign airspace as you will be amongst friends and most of the ATC will be provided by the controllers at the WF ATC Centre. Take the time to drop a small donation in the tin, all for the good of the RFDS. Scanno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
