📆 Events
Primary Events
Plane & Pilot’s primary events are some of the most unique and quality events Infinite Flight has ever seen. We have created over 50 events including competitions, test flights, realistic flights, and more! We hold these almost every weekend, so make sure to keep an eye out for them in #live:events or see a full list of our previous and upcoming events here. Also, if you have an idea for an event or you have VA and want to partner with us for one, make sure to fill out this form!
Plane & Pilot Patterns
Introducing Plane & Pilot Patterns, an all new event series that will take place every Sunday between 1400Z and 2400Z! For each event, we will choose an airport on TS1 to offer quality ATC for pattern practice! If you enjoy flying in busy patterns, make sure to join us!
Internal Events
Still haven’t had enough of our events? Make sure join our flying club where we host official internal group flights almost every week! Just keep an eye out for them in #group-flights!
Sponsored Events
A P&P sponsorship is an option available for people and VAs who want to make their own events, but still want our help. People who apply for sponsorships will get their event announced on our Slack, get P&P ATC at the starting and ending airport (only on TS1 events), and get to put our logo in the event description. Keep an eye out for sponsored events in #announcements on our Slack. If you want your event sponsored, please contact @PlaneCrazy or @Peter_S before you post your event, give us a summary of it, and tell us what airport, sever, date, and time it will be at.

Plane & Pilot ATC is one of the only ATC groups that controls at IFC events! Our team controls at all of our TS1 events in both our Primary and Patterns series. We will also provide ATC to almost any TS1 event, all you have to do is apply for a sponsorship (more info above).
We make sure that each of our members is highly knowledgeable and skilled in different types of operations so that they can help make our events run smoothly, and offer full training in both tower/ground and approach/departure fields so that we can help our member prepare for IFATC training.

About
Our flying club was created under one simple philosophy, that you shouldn’t have to work to be in a VO, just fly and chat with other people as you please. If you want to be a part of an Infinite Flight group but don’t have time to deal with a crew center, log all of your flights and flight hours, or be super active, Plane & Pilot is the club for you! Here you join over 100 other members and discuss anything from Infinite Flight to the weather in your area, host or join group flights with other members, or come to one of our internal events, hosted every Sunday.
