Flight Details: At 7:05pm (after we gather) we will be departing KPIE, St. Petersburg airport bound for Lakeland airport, our first stop. We make fly-overs or stops at Bok Tower, Kissimmee Airport, Disneyland, Orlando International, Space Coast Regional Airport and finally the launch pads of the Kennedy Space Center, all with Howard’s new scenery.
Two Landing challenges: We are going to land near the launch pads. Normally illegal, here in the flight simulator, Howard likes to challenge fellow flyers to two almost impossible landing spots to take a break, use the washroom, refresh your drinks and take off again. Short field landings are in order as we plunk down in areas that would make your hair stand on end….
Planning: Starting airport is KPIE. If you start late, chat the group and we will determine where we are from that airport so you can slew to us (Y key) Please load your aircraft 15 minutes prior to take off and ensure you see others doing runup nearby getting ready. We will announce when we are ready for takeoff, as we will all attempt a parallel takeoff, heading east toward Lakeland Airport. Tell all your friends. Anyone can tune in and watch and comment in the chat window. Ask Howard lots of questions. Other pilots on the stream can help too.
The ending airport is KTTS, the NASA Shuttle Landing Facility, but lots of variations to that route along the way.
Weather: We will use preset weather so it’s clear skies, for the specific reason of clarity when looking at scenery. We will be stopping and using a drone camera for closeups.
Live players, all traffic and preset weather to clear skies. Try to pick noon for best light on attractions.
Multiplayer Setting: To see and be seen by everyone: (All Players) The fun part!
–Server: East USA (if everyone disappears, change your server, change it back) Xbox Userid top right. It’s about the closest server to you, not to the destination. (low latency)
–Multiplayer: All
–Live traffic: As desired
–Weather: Clear skies and daylight (can change in session)
–Communication: chat window and lead airplane C-FLTF (Howard’s Forder Learn To Fly) Howard the pilot, will be the only voice leading us through this flight in a Cessna 172 G1000 plane.
As with all group flights, it is advisable to turn off both aircraft and terrain collisions. Although you can slew back to the group. Chat to find out where we are and use the Y key to slew back to us. Save your flight often along the way in case you have trouble and want to resume where you left off.
Let’s Fy! As with all informal, public fly-ins, there are no checklists, no strict flying rules and its an informal visual flight (VFR). Everyone is welcome, no matter what your experience level. Although Howard will have new scenery you might not have, you can still land in the same area and just look at Howard’s stream screen.
