Aerosoft, in conjunction with IVAO, are running their 4th online event on Saturday, November 16th, between Leipzig and Hannover.

Aerosoft Event number 4 offers you something total special. For the first time the event itself takes place in Aerosofts home country and in one of our largest divisions - Germany. This event should be more than just a shuttle - it should demonstrate the necessity of short term charter flights between two close cities. So what is the task?

Leipzig: On Sunday, November 16th, there is an exhibition in the ethnology museum demonstrating the good relations between Germany and the Arabic states. The exhibition contains unique exponats from the orient. A lot of sheikhs and their relations promised their participation.

Hannover: Same day different event. A meeting between Arabic and European representatives should clarify the options to get out of the world wide finance crisis. Due to the rapid sinking price for oil and gas, solutions have to be found as soon as possible.

The job

To ensure the presence of the participants and their relations on both events a shuttle service has to be established with as much planes as possible. The richest of the rich are not satisfied with a jetliner transfer flight. They want a high luxury aircraft to fulfill their wishes. Cessna Citations, Embraer Legacies, Gulfstreams, Learjets, Boeing BBJ or A319 CJ - you as a pilot with the appropriate type ratings know what is needed to satisfy the demand of flights.

Part two of your job is the transfer of luxury cars, horses or just bodyguards from A to B. Cargo planes have been rent in advance. Now it’s time to transfer them from Hannover to Leipzig and back. The cargo ramps will extend their services for these special goods. The transfer of these goods lies beyond your responsibility, but short flights and a rapid and safe transfer should be your main objective. No lack of security or service should be revealed.

So make sure to transfer as much cargo and as much sophisticated persons as possible in a limited period.

IVAO are running a “what if” scenario today at 20:00 UTC:

What if…Dominican Republic is an event designed to concentrate our efforts on a region considered to be an establishing division. While it is not a “grand opening” event that will guarantee a new division will be created, it is designed to stimulate the region with the hopes that new members will join the area and help form a new IVAO division. What if…is to give the IVAO members a sense of what it would be like if we had a full division in this region.

This Saturday (28th June, 2008), IVAO will be hosting their Lisbon Airport Flight Operations Event.

The Event

The “Real Flight event” is designed to reproduce the real operations of a major airport around the world. In this case we will be reproducing the real operations of Lisbon Airport (Portela, LPPT) using “MS Flight Simulator”. The flights are scheduled using a real timetable of Lisbon Airport adapted to IVAO’s rules and operations.

If you still don’t have an IVAO ID you can register and get one for free HERE.After that you should use the “Open slots” page in the event website in order to check the free slots to choose from, and choose one of those flights. At last but not least turn on the Flight Simulator , connect IvAp and let’s fly. ATC users should use the IVAO schedule system in order to reserve a position for this event.

How does this event works ?

All pilots are allowed to choose a maximum of 2 flights, (1) one departure and (1) one arrival. At the begining the pilots should take look at the “Open Slots” page and choose the flights that he want’s. The “Event Schedule” page is to check the slots already reserved.
