Welcoming 22.7 | KLM E175 Flyout

Take the helm of the skies as an AFKLM Airmen today!

The long awaited rework of all time is finally released and we are all here for it. What better way to celebrate the arrival of such an anticipated update, than with an AFKLM event? We welcome one and all to an E175 Flyout from our HUB, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. For this event we have featured the routes flown in real life with the KLM Cityhopper E175. Airmen may choose their route from the list below. We are extremely happy to welcome all of you onboard to join us in this fantastic flyout. In this flyout, you will see some of our AFKLM pilots and we hope to see you. Departure will be on the 15th of October 2022 at 1700z. See you there!

Are you an AFKLM Airmen? Then this is for you! We will organise plenty group flights during the day in our Group Flights forum and host a 1 month Discord Classic giveaway in the evening to mark the end of this grand event and the start of many E175 flights in KLM colours (finally!) ;). Stay tuned for more!

Welcoming 22.7 - Subtitle Banners - 3 - Crew Resources


Everyone is asked to spawn in between 1630-1700z and are asked to push back in an orderly fashion. You may choose when to push back but please avoid doing it at exactly 1700z and rather 10-30mins later. Of course, if you need to get moving you are welcome to pushback earlier we just want to spread them out. We strongly recommend airmen to utilise the A-Apron and B Pier for added realism.

Additionally, any airport charts for the destination, you must provide yourself.

Can we spawn into Amsterdam to do flights ourselves as long as we don’t interfere with the event?

Just a heads up your 3D airport list isn’t entirely accurate as EGAC has been 3D for a while now :)

THE ANSWER TO THE POLL IS STAVANGER, NORWAY!

The first commercial E175 Cityhopper flight was conducted on 27th March, 2016 from Amsterdam Schiphol to Stavanger. With Stavanger being 3D in-app, this route is a must-try and is our very own featured route for the event.
London City (EGLC) which is currently the most favoured in the poll is actually not a destination for the E175’s since they are not rated to fly the steep approach.

I will come! Seems interesting.

The E175 isn’t but the E190 is (which regularly flies into LCY).

That is strange….
