Pirep info

[pharaoh28]

Hi Guys,
I have been unable to find the Pirep Form required to post times, etc., for the various legs.
Is it posted yet or am I lost?

No, you're not lost. If you follow the link from the homepage you will see that Andrew has apologised; it is taking some final "tweaking". Should be out in 24-48 hours.

Regards,

Rattler

Hi Gentlemen...
Here's a potential Pirep problem: I'm registered on the roster as GAAR 124 Roy Marsh, however, I'm listed on the target time sheet as GAAR 123. I'm thinkin' someone is missing from the target time sheet and a giant mess is in the offing!!
Regards
Roy

And on the roster, I am listed as GAAR123, while in the Target Times List, I am GAAR122.
Who am I really??
Alex Greig.

Roy,

Not a "giant mess in the offering" just a typo beginning at GAAR 121 on the Roster, which is created manually. The Target Time Sheet is correct and is the basis for PIREP reporting. The GAAR IDs will be corrected on the Roster.

Thank you for picking up the error. Clearly, there was one too many glasses of red wine involved late last night when I updated the Roster.

Hear Hear

all those in favour say eye

and if you say PIREP backwards 10 times fast it sounds like a 172 starting up

The GAAR 2009 PIREP system is now available on the web site. To "log in", you will need your GAAR ID and the email address you used to register with. Functionality is currently limited to submitting PIREPs only. Full functionality will be available when the GAAR 2009 officially commences on 01 Feb 09.

Any problems with the PIREP system or with submitted PIREPs should be reported immediately in an email to the gaardirector(at)hotmail.com.

For those who maintain multiple email addresses and cannot remember which one they used to register with, should also send an email to the gaardirector(at)hotmail.com.

A number of teething problems with the PIREP system have surfaced this morning that where not evident earlier. Some of these include having to try multiple times before it accepts a submitted time and an error message which could be linked to the comments field. This is being investigated by Todd (he designed the PIREP system) and some changes have already been made.

Unfortunately, in making the changes, it appears some submitted times have been erased (including mine).

I will provide an update on the Forum as soon as the problem is resolved.

Please accept my apologies and bear with us.

Due to pilot(me) error the pirep system was pointing to the test database rather then the live one for a few hours this morning.

As a result the pireps you had submitted previously werent showing up. I have corrected the problem so NO NEED TO ENTER PIREPS AGAIN.

Also a few (4) pireps were submitted during this time and hence ended up in the test database. These have also been moved over to the live database.

Please let me know if anyone feels they are still missing pireps and i'll investigate.

Cheers

Todd, this is the best PIREP system used by any GAAR I,ve entered yet.allowing instant conformation and each leg coming up in order made it simple to enter multipilue aircraft,great work, hope it stays in use for the next one.
