September 12, 200223 yr The next PIC group flight will be scheduled on September 22nd at 1900Z in Canada. This will be a three hour event with three short legs featuring 4 excellent airfields. I will keep you in suspense for now but trust that it will rival the Madeira flight for scenery, challenge, skills aquired, and excitement. Details will be posted next Monday. Don't even try to guess! We have Ian Elchitz helping with the routing package(yes, a one stop download) and Bill Van Caulart assisting with ATC coordination.Mark your calendar and stay tuned!
September 12, 200223 yr Calendar marked and frequency is locked (staying tuned ;-) )It's great that you put these things together, Mike, you are doing a great service for the PIC-community!There are several add-on freeware sceneries and taxiway-signs for Canadian airports FYI.Rob.
September 12, 200223 yr Commercial Member Calendar marked.I smell some BC action...Kelowna? LOC/DME 1 Runway 15 approach. Localizer not aligned with runway. 7300 foot runway.Castlegar? But is a 5300 foot runway possible? The SUPPORT FORUM for Level-D Simulations products: http://www.leveldsim.com/forums
September 12, 200223 yr Looks like Castlegar to Calgary to Edmonton and then to CFB Cold Lake for some military PAR approaches. Sounds like a blast Mike! I hope my home PC is back in time.Regards,Dan Pergau
September 12, 200223 yr Information did NOT come from me!! Dan has his own sources.Maybe want to consider a Vancouver Intl departure over Castlegar to Calgary.....5000foot runway is do-able in the PIC, but not recommended. Vancouver's mountains make for a scenic departure, almost as nice as Castlegar and less risky ;-)Rob.

September 12, 200223 yr LOL!no chicken here - I am game - 199,000 ZFW and 20,000lbs fuel, no derate...I'll take off on a postage stamp in the 767...I was simply being cautious on behalf of our freinds from overseas not familiar with the 5000ft runway and the surrounding terrain at Castlegar ;-)HeheRob.
September 12, 200223 yr Kelowna and/or Cranbrook would be a nice stop as well.heh - DS making me fall off my chair with his taunting of 856.Ian.
