| FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Are these flights for rotorcraft only? Yes. No fixed wing aircraft please. I sometimes like to fly weird stuff. What exactly are you calling a rotorcraft? 1. It must have one or more rotors that generate lift (so no Jet Packs!). 2. It must be capable of hovering in place, as well as controlled vertical take-off and landing (so no autogyros). Other than that, anything is OK. So in addition to helicopters, you can bring (for example) your Rotodynes and Verticopters. Why are you flying in SimLink not JoinFS? To give people the widest choice of simulators in which to fly. And there's another reason... I'm really new/inexperienced with rotocraft and concerned I'll make a fool of myself. No problem. These flights are to have fun. We all start somewhere and you'll find people are supportive. And we're flying in SimLink, which helps disguise many mistakes (for all of us)! Will we always be landing at airports? Sometimes, yes, but not always. Sometimes we'll land at heliports or on helipads. But sometimes we may land on a beach or a lake (with advance warning, of course, so we fly with floats!). Will we always fly direct between stops? No. Very often we will follow natural features such as valleys, rivers and shorelines. Will we fly the same speed each week? Probably not. You may need to change your rotorcraft week to week. Will we always start one week where we left off the previous week? Sometimes, yes. Some flights will be "tours" and be part of a series. But others will be one-off flights. Will you be subjecting us to trivia and trivia questions? No! Not on these flights. :eagerness: |
