Celebrating the A220-300 by flying 24 Hours straight.
Disclaimer: After several advices to be more conscious about my health, I have slightly amended the plan to make up for some breaks. I also emphasize that I am not planning on doing similar challenges on a regular basis. I will not push my limits too far and will stop if needed!
As you might know, I was one of the most active users in the A220 request thread (under the name Maximilian1805) and as a result, an unknown excitement has built up with the A220-300 finally coming to life. Thatās why I have decided to do something I have never tried before for the release of the A220: Flying Air Tanzaniaās A220-300 for 24 Hours straight!
In total, I will fly 15 flights with flight times between 2:30hrs and 0:15hrs. The estimated time spent in the air will be around 21:45hrs. The remaining 2:15hrs will be used for refueling, taxiing, and taking breaks.

I will announce an update on this table and thread whenever I arrive or depart, so you can join for one or a few legs of the journey.
When will I undertake this journey?

This might change though, but if it does, I will amend the thread of course!
Thank you for viewing this topic! Hopefully, some of you will join me on my trip through southeast Africa with Air Tanzania!
Thanks mate! Yeah, I am also a little bit worried about that, especially since I am currently in a horrible sleep deficit due to a test phase in school. On the other hand, I have already stayed up for 24 hours before when I spent a night at Madrid Airport, so I hope itāll work š
No, not yet. But if it doesnāt, Iāll fly the generic livery as a substitute simply because I wanted to use this as a chance to discover South East Africa!
My body will probably force me to⦠The problem is that if I have fallen asleep once nothing is getting me to wake up again before at least 5 hours have passed
But itās the A220 and this is the best way of dealing with my excitement for it.
If I crash you can redirect my passengers to the airline so they can blame them for their pilotsā working conditions and horrible working hours š
Remember not to overwork yourself. Not to mention you overworked yourself in promoting the aircraft to the highest extent possible. Just dont waste your sleep over flying a plane in the virtual skies. It is simply not worth it and will hurt you in the long run trust me. Feel free to do what you wish tho up to you!
Also best way to deal with excitement is to add more excitement, rumoring that another livery is coming?
Itās not, though. Staying up for an extended period of time, even 24 hours, could be detrimental to your health. And to quote you:
I am currently in a horrible sleep deficit due to a test phase in school.
Donāt you think that that is a sign to get some sleep? If not, what about this other statement from you:
My body will probably force me to.
If neither of those is a sign to you, and as much as I hate to say this, you need to take a long break from Infinite Flightāyou are hurting yourself. Why do this to yourself over a mobile application?
Regardless, if you choose to go through with this, good luck. Hopefully you can do this with the respective livery, too.
Are you gonna start right after release? And I would love to join you (at least for one leg :D). The leg I“m most interested in is Kilimanjaro - Zanzibar, maybe you could message me when you“re flying this leg (maybe on Discord?).
And as previous speakers have said, I would also recommend a break, maybe halfway through the flights? And as I said already said, keep me posted on when youāre flying the Kilimanjaro - Zanzibar leg. @MxP
They didnāt already showed all the livery, according to the last live stream he said that he might have not already show all the new things that are coming into the 21.8. Letās hope this one will be added! š
Personally I will not be able to do it but I wish you good luck because it shows how involved you are in Infinite Flight.
Beware of fatigue, however, and remember that real life is more important than a flight simulator.
Do not hesitate to post pictures of your Challenge.
