CHARLOTTE FNF PROCEDURES 11 September

Tyler_Shelton · August 28, 2019, 6:27pm

IMPORTANT FNF INFORMATION FOR ALL

This week’s FNF will take place in the Charlotte region. To provide a more realistic and organized experience, we will begin using IF arrival/departure procedures for the three event airports. For advanced server, PLEASE utilize these procedures and plan for a patient flight. Full ATC will be available to implement these procedures and assist. Failure to follow instructions will lead to ghosting. Recommended you take notes on the procedures based on your desired route or save pictures on a second device.

Let’s keep it realistic, follow the procedures, and don’t forget to give feedback on these new changes!

Good I’m getting familiar as I type. I’m anxious this will be my first event and I don’t want to miss it.

Way to go, Tyler. This is really great.

Im kind of confused on flight plan

Awesome stuff Tyler. Ask any questions guys if you need help.

Tyler_Shelton · September 10, 2015, 6:04pm

Misrael, you will need to plan your flight according to these arrival and departure procedures. By following a standard procedure, the burden is removed form the controller to assign everyone the same altitude and heading. When departing one of the three airports, you simply follow the procedure until you cross the prescribed airport, climbing to the appropriate procedure altitude. From there, center will vector you to your arrival fix for the requested destination. Once given a descent, you will follow the arrival procedure and expect an ILS approach from approach control. If all else fails, follow the leader!

Rotate, the goal is to eventually use real SIDS and STARS but we want to keep a level playing field for every level of knowledge. Keeping it simple to start will help give us a foundation to build on as people learn.
