Timings, other useful stuff.
The flights will take place on a Saturday, put aside the whole day, as some of these flights are long ones. Your loved ones will need to be advised in advance. We'll try and start early in the morning Austraian time so we're done early evening t let people head out, that may get you a few brownine points back with the Chief Flight Attendant. During the flight we'll usually fire up on the Compass company frequency (130.25 rw1.vatpac.org/compass_ops) for a yack along the way.
Equipment: These flights vary in length, a few of the longer ones will only suit the B77W / B77L / A345 / A388 while most will be manageable in the B744. A few will be possible in the MD11 or the B763. We are hoping that PMDG may have their B777 out early in 2011, if not our FSX pilots will be a little limited for choice of aircraft. Even the longest flight should be possible in the B744 with really light loads.
As always we want lots of screen shots of each and every leg. Post your screen shots to the special screen shot forum. If you're not a Compass member, no problems, but you'll still have to register for our forums to post. If you can't bring yourself to register, but would like to submit an image or video then email it to c......@compass-virtual.net
Time Left Until Our 10th Birthday:
11 Sep 2010This month we kick of our year long long haul with a flight to celebrate our 9th birthday, it's a day after the actual day (10th Sep) We have a flight that's actually part of the Compass schedule with a non-stop service from Christchurch to Singapore, we'll get cracking at 2200Z.. For scenery we have the Animal's very own FSX scenery for Singapore and there are plenty of options for FS9 for both Christchurch and Singapore. FS9 users of the Samsoft "Very Singapore" scenery shold be aware that the airport is incorrectly positioned in this scenery (a great pity, otherwise it's outstanding). The Singapore controllers on VATSIM request that you indicate you are using this scenery in the remarks section of your flight plan so they can deal with this problem for you and other pilots. The route should use the day's Sydney-Singapore AUSOTS track, which we'll get the evening before. The fixed route is: DCT CH N750 PLUGA M636 SY H44 KAT A576 SJ DCT Christchurch charts are available on the New Zealand CAA website. Singapore charts are on the Singapore CAA website |
Plans from the Compass Dispatch DepartmentThe Compass Dispatch team will create flight plans for each leg and publish them here each fortnight. Click on the link to download the full collection as a zip file. Thanks to the Animal for the FSX plan. If there is a format missing from the collection that you would like please let us know. Many of these routes will use a flex track that will not be available until the night before or the day of the flight. NZCH-WSSS
