NEXT EDITION POLL

Below are three options for the next edition of the IF48 series, and it’s time to cast your vote! You’ll be choosing the region, but here’s the twist: the exact airports will stay a surprise until the next edition is published. This poll will close when the event ends.

  • Mystery Option :sparkles:

additional notes
  • We encourage everyone to use the suggested aircraft & airlines listed above for each route.
  • As always, expert server pilots are required to comply with IFATC and to follow ALL expert server rules. Failure to comply with ES rules will result in violations being issued.
  • Delays are likely, especially during peak hours. Expert Server ATC might send arriving traffic into holding patterns to effectively manage high volumes of traffic.
  • Most importantly… Have a great time and share your screenshots with us on social media!
