Affiliation
I am pleased to announce that we are now affiliated with IVAO our callsign is VAC and the radio callsign is Aero. Your callsign is VAC and the last 2 digits of your IVAO VID. So my case it’s VAC38 and my callsign is Aero38. This is a big deal and will make it easier to recruit new people as we can advertise on IVAO.
New Tour
I have created a tour that I have called the VFR DIY tour it is a little different so please read the information on how it works. The website generates two ICAO codes and you can then fly between them, 250 airports are in the system and all are between 1000ft and 2000ft runways, the max distance between is I think 130 miles so flights should be no longer than an hour and a bit ish. As I said information on the website.
Discord Names
We have several people who have not yet changed their name on Discord to the correct format, which is your name – Vid. Paul – 122038 for example. If you are one of these people please change your name on the server, if you do not know how to open a ticket I will be more than happy to explain.
New Lessons
I am continuing work on creating lessons, the latest is the free call lesson, and I hope to have the aircraft lessons available within the next week for the C152. Also started working on some basic IFR lessons for the SPP. And work continues on the ICAO phraseology lessons.
Contributing
I have always said VACs is run by its members, I am going to create several contributor awards for people who help and contribute. These will be for planning events, tours, and documentation. If you are interested in helping create events, or tour documents open a ticket.
Changes to announcements
Moving forward these announcements will be once a week on a Monday. They will include the news and also events of that week to stop another two notifications and to free up some time on my end to work on other projects.
Reminder
Group flights are Wed and Sun planning from 1730Z takeoff 1800Z This week Sunday the 28th will be our first IFR flight. Wed the 31st will be back to VFR and on a training flight.
Thank you all for your support please remember to give feedback on anything you would like to be added or even things you do not like. Please help recruit by giving people the website link.
