Briefing

July 2017

Overview	The July Event will be visiting the northern RAF Bomber Command bases (about ¼ of the bases in the country).
Flight Planning	Your flight plan should show: Departure = EGNV Destination = EG34 Route = No fixed route Comments = /V/ DAYLIGHT / CIX VFR CLUB / At 100 knots this Route should take about 1 hour 30 minutes
Start Time and Place	The event may be flown on any day in July.
What Aircraft can I fly	Any aircraft can be flown in this event as long as it is within the EASA GA category.
Weather	Before starting we will check the weather. If it is unsuitable for our trip as planned, then we will fix it. Something we can do in the simulator - wouldn't it be nice if we could do it in real life!

ATC	At the time of publishing this event plan, ATC has not been confirmed.
Radio Discipline	Take care not to let our Teamspeak chat cut across ATC. Stop any conversation immediately the R/T comes alive, then continue if "he wasn't talking to us". This is difficult because when transmitting on Teamspeak you can't hear the R/T. So be brief on Teamspeak, and be aware that ATC might be trying to get through. If anyone hears an R/T message which seems to be being ignored, just say "ATC is calling G-CIXN" if you have identified the callsign, or "ATC is calling us" which is a cue for everyone to be quiet on Teamspeak until ATC call again (which they will). Remember too that if asked to "Stand By" by ATC, you do not reply - not even "Roger", but simply wait until you are called again. Remember also that there are several different ATC frequencies in use, and you may not be able to hear when communications are taking place. Make sure you have set and know how to use a Teamspeak mute switch.
