[2nd Feb 2019 0000-1200z] Ugandan Knuckles: Revival Time

[Matthew McEwen]

 

ITS REVIVE TIME BRODDAS

For the second time around, VATSAF is throwing an ultra-awesome slightly-late new years party at Entebbe (HUEN) with 12 hours of ATC in Ugandan Knuckles style!

Join us as we light up the little-but-lively Eastern African heartland on Saturday 2nd February 2019 from 0000-1200 UTC. This is a perfect opportunity for a long-or-short-haul group flight to Africa, or control, or do both, since we've got a whole 12 hours on our hands. We're inviting all controllers rated S2 and above from every division on VATSIM to provide ATC in this event! If you are interested, please email [email protected] or enquire on Discord - https://discord.gg/HXbEQx5

 

Don't think we'll only be staffing up a small slice of airspace, though! Pilots can expect ATC across the continent. GA craft and heavy metal are equally welcome. Here are some outbound IFR flight routes that have r/w airline services (shortest-longest):

HUEN-HKJK: ALKON UL433 NAKAT

HUEN-HAAB: KOLON DCT NABRO UL432 EKBUL UA408 BENDO

HUEN-OMDB: KOLON DCT NABRO UM216 HARGA UB312 PAKER P312 DATEG UP552 IMPOS G652 DATBU R401 PEDOG P308 KIPOK L568 IMPED

HUEN-OTHH: KOLON DCT NABRO UL432 EKBUL UA408 HDH M318 RAGNI UL564 LADEM T112 AFNAN

HUEN-HECA: LUVUN DCT TORNO UG656 JUB UB527 KTM UA727 NUBAR A727 SOLAM

HUEN-FAOR: BINDA DCT DIMTO UT910 BIKON DCT GEPET UA408 ETKAV UL432 ESPOK UA408 VSB UA405 GWV UZ11 NESAG UZ7 OKPIT

Shalom Aharon, great to hear you're interested in the event and I hope to see you there!

The only sceneries for HUEN that I know of (aren't very good) are here: http://www.freewarescenery.com/fsx.html#uganda

Here's a map showing a few of my favourite destinations that have nice scenery within 400nm - luckily, there are lots of them, thanks to Entebbe's favourable location.

 

Regards!
