Re: BAE 146 Tour! - AS37 Norm Edwards - 11-14-2020
I agree Andre with what you mention in your last post. A lot of our members do like to fly such flights in the order that they took historically, and usually I do, but I have found that for some flights I wasn't able to fly them because the 1 CP had been booked and still not flown, so i've moved onto later legs.
:!: I ask all pilots that are participating in this tour that they only book the CP when they intend to fly it straight away rather than hold on to it for a few days as it just holds up other pilots wanting to book and fly it.
Thanks everyone for your cooperation on this point.

Completely agree guys, the fun in flying this route is to operate the different legs in the order they were originally flown, that is the purpose of the tour.
I've noted that one member currently has 4 legs held? Effectively stopping four full sectors from being completed? I'm currently 19nm miles out on my leg 12 routing RJAA - RJSS

Can you set short expiry time, say 1 day, on any booked flights? Someone is bound to book and be unable for whatever reason to be there and fly. It would help stop the log jams?

All - took me a couple days but I think I have managed to write a script that adds extra crew passes. It's an intricate process, so I hope I didn't break anything!
There are now 5 crew passes for each leg available. 8)

Just finished the Tour.
What a great flight plan. I really enjoyed the more challenging legs, it was great to have them interspersed with all the standard ones.
I had to practice taking off from the destination strip and turning to land again in order to work out the best way to make the landing, then I could go fly the leg with the confidence I could make it.
It must have been a lot of work setting it all up and I hope a lot more Pilots take the challenge.
Any more??

All flown with active airsource when i went to file the flight, the program crashed when i tried to log onto the website it to had crashed, is there anyway you can register my flight hours, and show I've flown the route, as i cannot PIREP it as it won't let me, don't really want to re-fly an 874nm routing again
