Bella Roma - with Biplanes

Bella Roma - or the Eternal City

We meet for another scramble flight, this time around Italy’s capital city, Rome. When choosing the various destinations wisely, we will cross over the City of the Seven Hills more than once and get a good chance to see many of the well-made attractions this city has to offer.

We start this flight at the Campo di Volo Sangermano (LIXU).

 Here as a reminder Mike’s explanation of the rules of a “scramble” flight:

The Scramble Setup
The “instigator” takes the lead by announcing the initial departure airport to set the stage before the event begins. On the day of the event, he will write down the names of the arriving participants and then randomly order those names in a sequenced “planner roster”. At departure time, the list will be published on TeamSpeak. Participants who join after the beginning will be added at the end of the list.

Then, at the start time, the instigator will announce the first destination. We shall fly to that airport. When everyone arrives, the next name on the ordered list becomes the next “planner” who will announce the next destination. We repeat the process until the ordered list is exhausted at which time we cycle back to the original planner. And so forth until we are done.

Notes.
- Having the list openly available will allow the next “planner” a little extra time to choose the next leg. As soon as he knows the airport from which to depart, he can begin to think about a suitable subsequent destination. There is no hurry to do this quickly. 
- Any pilot may “pass” on taking the planner role, either on a particular turn or altogether, as he wishes. (Pilots who have only limited access to a map may find it difficult to pick suitable airports “on the fly”.)
- Legs may follow any pattern. They may move in a single direction or they may veer left or right or may double back to create a jumble of directions.

Documentation
There is no actual flightplan. The route depends upon the decisions made during the flight.

 

Aircraft
We want to fly low and slow and a biplane like the Tiger Moth would be an excellent airplane to do this. Other slow planes like the Husky are also suitable. Cruising with about 100 kias is sufficient. As ever, please fly what you like.

 

Additional Scenery
As we don't know in advance where we will make stops enroute, there is no special scenery needed. We should use only airfields that are in the MSFS database.

 

Time and Weather
Please set your simulator for a 1 pm local takeoff. We try real weather....
