Andrew Doubleday Posted November 1, 2007 at 11:10 AM Posted November 1, 2007 at 11:10 AM I'm just skimming over the flight plans you guys have selected. Not sure who is responsible for creating the flight plans, but I might suggest using flightaware.com or simroutes.com for preffered routes. I noticed none of the US destination flight plans contain any SIDs or STARs - I'm not sure that places like Washington D.C., Miami, or Phoenix will be too pleased with your selected routes. I recall last year when you guys came to Chicago O'Hare (at least 30+ flights), we had to re-route everyone inbound and outbound - just took up more time than it should have. Just providing some helpful insight to making your flying experience less problematic and more enjoyable when you guys fly into the U.S. Regards, AJ Andrew James Doubleday | Twitch Stream: Ground_Point_Niner University of North Dakota | FAA Air Traffic Collegiate Training Initiative (AT-CTI) Graduate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrence Scanlan Posted November 8, 2007 at 12:18 AM Author Posted November 8, 2007 at 12:18 AM To-day and to-morrow we will p[Mod - Happy Thoughts] down the East Coast of Canada and and USA and look forward to some local ATC even though the timing is not good for local ATC. Remember if you see the WF ATC Centre providing service for the group and you are authorised to control the sector we are p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ing through then please introduce yourself to the ATC Centre and they will revert to an "[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ist if required" role. You do not need to ask their permission. Check the http://www.worldflight.com.au website for the exact timings.

Terrence Scanlan Posted November 8, 2007 at 01:23 AM Author Posted November 8, 2007 at 01:23 AM That's neat Daryl, I am sitting at WF HQ in Sydney, watching your live feed and hearing ATC coming through your cockpit but seeing the controller issuing the instructions from here. You gotta luv technology. Terry Terry Scanlan http://www.hars.org.au http://www.worldflight.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
