REAL FSX SIMULATION FORMATION FLIGHT
This session is for serious, mature pilots only. FAA regulations will be followed as in real life.
--- AIRCRAFT ---
This flight will require: WWII P-38 Lockheed Lightnings ONLY. If not already in your hangar go to "FLIGHTSIM.COM" and search
"P-38 Lightning" and you will find several by David Copley, a DGA (D arn G ood A ircraft). Or "fsx_p-38_39th_fs.zip" will get to
one of his designs.
FORMATION FLYING is a test of your skill. If you are a novice, you are welcome to try it, and follow the directions provided.
We are flying AFB's around California. Some of the flights are longer than usual in order to provide time and distance
to form up. When we all participate precisely, time flies by, lol. I suggest you familiarize yourself with the keystrokes
that control the autopilot as they provide accurate control without overcorrecting.
--- GUIDELINES ---
These are the requirements for the flight:
1- DO avoid using foul language. The FAA prohibits it, and children could be listening.
2- DO make sure only ONE airplane is on the runway at a time. (You may line up behind an aircraft that is taking off.)
3- DO spawn in at a ramp/gate area instead of a runway. If unavailable, spawn in the air and land safely and respectfully.
4- DO fly safely! In keeping with realism as the theme, aerobatics and smoke effects will be forbidden on these flights.
5- Do use the taxiways only. Rolling on the grass may damage props and fuselage.
6- DO take off and land on the runway most headed into the wind. Wind checks and runway guidance will be provided throughout the flight.
7- DO observe the "250 under 10,000" rule, which means maintain an airspeed of no greater than 250 knots indicated below 10,000 feet MSL.
8- DO keep a safe distance from all other aircraft at all times (even on the ground). Most participants on these flights HAVE CRASH DETECTION TURNED ON.
9- DO follow the pattern, runway, and route instructions of the flight leader. You are joining his flight and therefore are asked to respect his rules and instructions.
Failure to adhere to these DOs of the flight will result in ejection from the flight.
Repeated or intentional offenses may result in further action.
--- ROUTE ---
NAVAID information such as VOR and NDB frequencies will be provided throughout the flight for those interested in managing navigation instruments.
This flight will be starting at: Amedee AAF Base:
KAHC > KBAB > NGZ > KFAT > KSUU > KNLC > KNUQ > KVBG > KEDW > KRIV > KNKX > KNTD > KNID > KSLI > KNFG > KNJK
Happy Flying
