Our next Tassie Tigers event sees us taking off from St Helens for Launceston via the Conara Junction reporting point.

Depart St Helens and track to Falmouth on the east coast, then turn southwest and track to St Marys. Next, turn further west and track to Finga. Continue tracking westerly to Avoca and Conara Junction, where you report inbound to Launceston. Track to Launceston via Hummocky Hills. Ensure you keep the highway to your right, so you don’t stray into the path of arriving/departing IFR traffic. Finally track to Launceston for a full stop landing.

We will require the following ATC for the event:
+ Melbourne Centre
+ Launceston Tower

Note: St Helens is a non-towered aerodromes so CTAF procedures will apply. You can take advantage of Melbourne Centre for Flight Following and Traffic Advisory if available. You must request permission to enter Controlled Airspace for Launceston at Conara Junction, which is only 4nm to the 2,500' boundary step.

The event will be held at the following times:

Friday 13th Jun at 8:00pm EST/10:00z
Sunday 15th Jun at 3:00pm EST/5:00z

If you are interested in joining in and don't receive the InfoKits for the flights, please send an email to groupflights@virtualVFR.com.

Hi Paul,

This might be a bit of a newbie question, but how do we meet up?

Is there a designated server we need to find via the game, or do we meet up via Vatsim?

I haven't been able to make any of the previous flights, but might be able to make this one, but I don't know where to go.

Thanks in advance.
Leviathan.

G'day Mate,

You first need to register with VATSIM (free) and download either FSInn or SB3 (both also free) as the connectivity manager to fly on-line in the VATSIM environment. If you need assistance, I can help you out with training material.

Once you are connected, head for St Helens on the East Coast of Tassie - YSTH and from there we fly to Launceston - YMLT.

Now there will be ATC around Launceston, so if you haven't done this sort of thing before, I'm happy to help you out with some training material.

Send an email to the address listed above, so I can register you for future Info and Nav Kits. These kits give you all the information and tools you need to conduct a flight.

If you are interested, I'm planning some small training sessions in Radio calls next Wednesday night. Let me know if you wish to join in and I'll give you the details.

Look forward to flying with you down the track. Believe me, once you start flying on-line with other like minded people with real ATC it takes on a whole new dimension of enjoyment.
