Steve Sutherland 1017112 Posted November 24, 2010 at 05:45 PM Posted November 24, 2010 at 05:45 PM Hi folks, I have a request for controllers in the US and Canada. On Saturday 11 December myself and a few of my friends over at British Airways Virtual are flying over from the UK to Western USA. Myself I'll be flying EGLL to KPHX and I think there'll be probably 1 or 2 others coming to Phoenix with me. I know there's also at least one flying EGLL to KLAS. I'm planning to do my flight real time with the real life flight leaving EGLL at 1500Z giving me an ETA of 1840 local Phoenix time. Since this is not an official BAv event and just a few of us flying together I am posting this request here. Myself and my buddies would really appreciate it if some people could spare some time to give us some ATC along the way - especially for us limeys as the ETA is 0140 for us and somebody else to talk to along the way as it gets late would be great for keeping us awake and alert. Many thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The route that I posted in the US forum was a route that'd been used a few days ago by BA. We are planning on using the Real World BA route on the day that we fly, which may be similar to that one or may be more southerly and more direct and p[Mod - Happy Thoughts] through CZQX and CZQM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Sutherland 1017112 Posted December 10, 2010 at 08:23 PM Author Posted December 10, 2010 at 08:23 PM I'm hoping the winds will be quite favourable and we can take a more direct route. When I flew to PHX for holiday this year we flew over across New Mexico so I know BA do fly that far South to PHX....all to do with the winds I guess. If I'm struggling to get the real world route and have to make my own route then it will be more Southerly, taking in either South East Canada or North East USA then heading South West across the USA. That's my prefered route but other people flying would prefer the real world route. We'll see. Hopefully, by 14:00z Saturday I'll have a route and I will post it in both the VATUSA and VATCAN forums.

Steve Sutherland 1017112 Posted December 11, 2010 at 02:22 PM Author Posted December 11, 2010 at 02:22 PM Good morning, folks. As far as we know at BA Virtual this is todays real world flight plan for this flight: CPT UL9 KENET UN14 BAKUR/M083F340 DCT RESNO/M083F340 DCT 57N020W 59N030W 61N040W 62N050W 63N060W/M083F360 DCT BERUS/N0476F360 DCT TEFFO DCT 60N080W 56N090W/N0481F380 DCT YWG DCT 4900N09811W DCT DPR DCT RAP DCT KD60U DCT HBU J10 RSK DCT GUP EAGUL3 I realise that this is a bit too far North for many people and I appreciate that. But other pilots want to keep it as close to real world BA opps as possible so this is the route we'll fly. This will take us through the very north of CZUL then CZWG, KZMP, KZDV and KZAB. We're scheduled for a 1500z departure which gives us a scheduled arrival time into KPHX of 0140z/1740 MST. Hopefully, we'll see ya on the way Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
