Departure Information and Guidelines
Departure information will be updated and found here on the morning of the event and will be updated 1hr prior to the event in a pm.
- Please spawn at your assigned gate 10 minutes before departure
- Please only Pushback when the aircraft next you has began its taxi and is clear of you. Pushback in any order as long as you are clear of other aircraft
- If IFATC is active, follow all instructions, this could be enforced by ghosting. If IFATC is not active, you must announce all movements on UNICOM. I am not responsible for any violations received during this
- Flight plan should be made by the pilot, I personally recommend FplToIF
- Remain aware of surroundings at all times as the airport will be busy, do not cut in line, no intersection departures. Keep a safe distance with aircraft ahead whilst taxiing at all times!!
- Pilots may use SIDs, charts for the runway in use will be posted in the pm prior to the event.
- Take off after the aircraft in front reaches 2500 AGL
Look forward to seeing you all! Happy Flying!
