Phil Dowling Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hi Neil. Great idea, looks like a lot of fun! Do you have an approximate schedule for the legs? It would help with having ATC available if you do. Thanks!

Jeff McMillan Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Sounds like a lot of fun! Like Phil mentioned, Let us know the flight schedule and Moncton FIR will plan to the best of our abilities-to make sure the aerospace is covered. Always great team welcoming this great to Canada!

David Manson Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Sounds like a fun trip. Like Phil and Jeff have said, let us know the schedule, we will do our best to get the Edmonton FIR covered for the days your coming through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1046871 Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 Hi All, As the majority of the pilots are European based, I would imagine flights taking place between 1800z and 2300z For the first few flight, there is a high probability that several pilots will join together and fly some of the legs as a group. If this happens I will provide as much notice as possible Regards Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff McMillan Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 So this is not so much of an event with a date? More of a challenge for the CIX VFR Club to complete on their own time during the holidays?

paul dean Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I could make myself available 1 st Dec 18:00z for a couple of hrs, see them out of Halifax. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do a similar thing every December, last years was a trip around the Caribbean I'm looking forward to this one as i have only flown in Moncton and Toronto, I get to visit a lot more of the country Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pass on to the club if they are flying through Moncton/Gander that they can request atc coverage at http://czqm.ca/RequestATC.aspx. We will do our best to have a controller available. We kindly ask for at least 12 hour notice. Jeff McMillan (1275572) CZQM C1 Controller jeffreyamcmillan@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
