It's time again for the Annual 2-4-CIX Display!

Fire up your engines and fly into Old Buckenham (EGSV) anytime up until the 26th November then sit back, relax and enjoy the show! A forum post will be made, where the YouTube link will be uploaded on the day. Join us on Teamspeak from 1900z!

The fly-in element takes place from the start of November up until the evening of Tuesday 26th, when the display itself will then kick off at 2000z (8pm UK time).

Those flying into Old Buckenham should plan their flight, accordingly, taking into account any airspace and terrain nearby.

You may use any aircraft classified as GA (within the EASA "light" category - please see club rules for details)

Before starting, check the weather. In accordance with VATSIM rules the wind direction should be the same as real-world. This event is strictly VFR, so all other aspects of the weather should be adjusted to avoid the disappointment of being rained or fogged in..

Always ANC (Aviate, Navigate, Communicate).

Remember, there may be non CIX VFR traffic in the area as well as club members and that the event should be fun for everyone - pilots and controllers. If your enjoyment is impaired by "unsportsmanlike" ATC, let someone know so senior club members can pass on your concerns. Similarly, if you get something wrong, such as entering controlled airspace without authority, learn from the experience and follow instructions - even if requested to 'Disconnect'. If you do have problems, don't be afraid to ask. Club members are always happy to help, and ATC would much rather you asked than stumbled on causing mayhem.

Be prepared and expect ATC to be active over / around the coverage area. There is a likelihood of Old Buckenham Radio being manned on the evening of the 26th up until 1945L

Be aware that ATC may be trying to get in touch with one of us, so don't let TeamSpeak chat cut across the radio. Conversation should stop immediately if ATC transmit and only continue if "they aren't talking to us". If you realise a member has not heard ATC, let them know on TeamSpeak. Remember that if ATC tells you "Standby" It means "wait, don't call me, I will come back to you as soon as I can" - busy with a more urgent problem.

1⁄2 Star will be awarded for flying into EGSV at any time between 1st and 26th November.
1⁄2 Star will be awarded for those watching the display, details of this will be provided on the evening.

Old Buckenham charts can be found on UK eAIS.
