IF48 Edition 7: Props & Jets


Edition 7 of the IF48 Series is here! This time we’re switching things up with a focus on General Aviation, often overshadowed by the big jets in Infinite Flight. It’s all about slowing things down, flying smaller aircraft, and enjoying scenic routes and short hops between smaller airports. To mix things up even further, this edition is split into two parts. Instead of one region, this event is split into two:

  • Day One - First 24hrs: California
  • Day Two - Final 24hrs: South Florida & The Bahamas

EVENT DETAILS

:one: Featured Airports - Day One

:two: Featured Airports - Day Two

:airplane: Featured Aircraft

Event details, timings, sign-ups & group flights

:warning: This event thread excludes suggested routes. This is due to the variety of GA aircraft, each with their own performance characteristics. To work out estimated flight times between featured airports we recommend using simbrief or a simple distance ÷ speed calculation! Remember to maintain ample distance with other aircraft.

We strongly encourage pilots to take part in the featured GA operations. However, for those who prefer other flying, nearby major hubs like KLAX, KSFO, and KMIA are available as unofficial secondary options.

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.

  • Mediterranean
  • Central America
  • South Asia
0 voters
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!

A great idea to make the 7th Edition of IF48 with a General Aviation theme :fire: I’m gonna love flying the new PA-28 Archer

IF48 really brought general aviation into the spotlight, and I absolutely love the peace and slow pace of it. There’s something special about GA flying — the freedom, the variety, the pure passion — and this event captured it perfectly. Huge appreciation to everyone who made this mega event happen. I’m genuinely so happy to be part of it and super excited for what’s ahead!

I have been flying only GA aircraft for the past year. This year has been the C208 and last year was all CL35 flying. I never went back to airliners lol.

Now THIS is what was needed.

Time to stretch those pattern legs and see if I can still do touch-and-goes, or if I’ll just stall out on crosswind.

Also nice to put to use those delicious 3D airports that aren’t used often since they’re overshadowed by their bigger counterparts!

Nice to see GA get a spotlight.

I know there is three option to vote for next IF48 but can the next vote have the Caribbean as an option?

Thanks.
