[Ended] Announcing the partnership of Aeroflot and El Al Virtual! @ LLBG - 212145ZFEB18

Server: Training

Region: Israel/European Russia

Airport: LLBG

Time: 2145Z

NOTAM: Aeroflot and El Al Virtual are glad to announce our partnership! From now on, our services will be “code-shared”, and pilots will be able to choose between Aeroflot and El Al aircraft. This creates a new opportunity for new routes to be added to the two airlines, increasing Aeroflot’s routes through Tel Aviv, and increasing El Al’s routes through Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Vladivostok. In honour of our partnership, we will be hosting a new event in which we fly from Tel Aviv to Moscow - the two airlines’ major hubs. We hope to see you all there, as this event will be open to everyone in IF.

350 knots is a bit fast and at a normal airline cruise altitude will definitely be a over-speed violation. Also Altitudes need too be picked based on direction of flight. And a last bit advice would be for the 737 series a good cruise between M.78 and M.82

Have fun at the event. Warm Regards

.82 is the maximum for the 737 family, not ideal. It should really be closer to 0.79.
