Transatlantic Hop
From Virtual Skies MRC
Information
The transatlantic hop event consists of flights from Manchester (EGCC), Heathrow (EGLL) and Gatwick (EGKK) to Boston Logan International Airport (KBOS) situated in the historic north east of the United States of America.
Pilots can fly any eligible aircraft they feel will make the day as enjoyable and realistic as possible. Routes and SELCAL codes for pilots will be issued to the night prior to the event with current North Atlantic Tracks. Virtual Skies will also be holding 2 training nights for pilots to learn or brush up on different techniques, how to use a range of FMC’s and fuel planners.
Aircraft will start departing from 12:00z from London Heathrow and Manchester Airport, 12:10z from London Gatwick. Each aircraft will be given a departure slot 3 days prior to the event - ALL aircraft will have taken off by 15:00z.
If you would like to fly Concorde during this event, SM tracks will be issues to you instead of NAT's. Please submit you aircraft type as **CONC** on the booking form.
