Let’s Show PSA How It’s Done!
In case you weren’t aware 2 weeks ago 1100+ flights were cancelled due to a “Computer Glitch”. I personally was affected, stuck in Charlotte overnight, and figured what a great way to get some fun out of the experience.
The flight will take off from Charlotte and arrive at Washington Dulles. The flight plan to follow matches the real flight plan, including depature and arrival instructions, as filed in real life by PSA Airlines. It has been tested in IF.
This is for fun and a feeling of the real flight so I have included a ton which makes as real as you can get without doing the flight yourself. I’ll run this event again in a month after finding out what worked and didn’t for this one. Best wishes and have a great flight.
