Merhaba saygıdeğer pilotlarımız;

Uzunca bir süre grup uçuş etkinliğinde bir arada bulunamadık. Soğuk kış günlerinin uzun geçen gecelerinden biri olan ve tam da kış şartlarının uçuşları zorlaştırdığı bu günlerde, 3 Şubat 2024 Cumartesi günü saat 20:00(tsi)'da İstanbul Havalimanından (LTFM) Saraybosna Havalimanına (LQSA) yapacağımız uçuşumuza tüm pilotlarımızı bekliyoruz.

Kazasız kırımsız uçuşlar dileriz.

Notes;
- Our pilots participating in the event will be awarded +5 seniority and 15% additional points to those who have attended the check-ride exam. Extra seniority bonus amounts may vary depending on the status of the event.
- It is essential to observe the voice communication procedures with ATCs. If your English level needs to be improved, PLEASE talk with VOICE / TEXT in TURKISH / ENGLISH.
- Our event is open to student pilots as well.
- Student pilots who do not have the right to fly abroad on the day of the event will be given the right to fly overseas, and after the event ends, these pilots will only be able to return to one of the Turkish airports.
- Prepare your preparations/plans for the event in advance.
- Make your communication with ATC short, clear and understandable.
- Understand and follow the instructions given by ATCs correctly. Ask for any instructions to be repeated if they need to be understood.
- Due to the heavy traffic, try to hold procedures that can be given in LQSA TMA. Do not allow wrong-hold entries.
- For various reasons, remember that the runway may be closed, and traffic may restrict you from leaving the runway. Prepare for the missed approach procedures specified in the relevant charts for LQSA airport.
- First, use voice, and do not hesitate to communicate appropriately in Turkish, even if you cannot speak "receive." That is, listen to ATC, take the instruction by voice, and respond/reply as text. In this way, you will avoid causing a mess in heavy traffic.
- Apply without waiting for possible speed, altitude and heading information ATC can give. Remember, a mistake will put the other traffic behind you into trouble.
- For various reasons, make the communication problems with ATCs as text accordingly with RESPECT.
- Some Vatsim clients can create problems with some audio servers. If you have issues with one of them, please use alternative programs like (vPilot, sqbox, or Swift)

Event regulations;
- Our pilots participating in the events will be given seniority according to the level of the event.
- By the new event rules, the FDR event flight selection will be opened 5 minutes before the event's start and will automatically close 2 hours after the beginning of the event.
- Persons who participated in the event within the first 2 hours from the start time. And whose flight status was ATTENDED while in this state, if they had to leave their flight due to any problem on this flight, they will be able to re-enter the event within the next four hours after their flight, even if the event participation time is closed.
- The pilots who want to attend the event after the event time is over will not be able to see the event option in the FDR, and the management will not offer them any other options.
- You must arrive at the event departure airport using our free tickets or fly to the airport before the event starts.
- According to the decision, the flights selected outside the EVENT, like charter/scheduled flight types, will not be counted as event participation.

Promotional Transfer Tickets;
- For those who want to go to the event departure airport, real-time free tickets are given by the management. The pilots are responsible for using this ticket for the event departure airport and arriving at least 2 hours before the start of the event. We want the pilots to act as planned. So, for pilots who do not go to the event departure airport on time, management will not make a separate effort for those pilots.
- Not using the free tickets for the event will expire two hours after the event starts.
- The free tickets are instant tickets and provide instant transfer to the event departure airport. The tickets given for the return are also instant tickets.
- Suppose a ticket request has already been made to the pilots participating in the event. In that case, another ticket will be allocated for returning to the airports they want after the event.
- During the event application, people who requested a ticket and went to the event departure airport but could not attend the event will still be assigned a separate return ticket after the event.
