Simon,
Sent an email some time back and another one late yesterday afternoon (my time). Whatever it was, it did the trick because it went up overnight (again my time).
Cheers
Andrew

Hi there everyone! Thanks Andrew for all your work! Good to see "!old friends"! My old boxcar made the trip to Aussie land again and we hope to fly some good legs. QUESTION to Andrew: the 2nd waipoint in leg 1 gives the 055 bearing intersection from BK NDB with 022 radial bearing from SY VOR....... Is the "055" correct?  btw waypoint 3 is confusing too...... thanks for your reply 27.1.13: COULD FIX ALL MY MENTAL ERRORS , EVERYTHING OK.... SORRY FOR DISTURBING YOU |

Danke Urs, dieses Ergebnis hatt ich auch, hatte mir aber keinen Sinn ergeben, wenn man den P.river runter sollte (ab wp1 ) und dann Sydney Hafen ansteuern sollte.....

THANKS!

I could not find flight altitudes listed. During the test we had to be at 4500' Are we on our own now?

I figure that I am on my own ,some of those mountain routes if you stay at 4,500 ft. you better be pulling a plow or hearding sheep ..also if you have to stay with in Vfr minimums ,you will be going higher or lower , then winds aloft may be a choice .. I think the test flight altitude is to establish a base to compaire each TYPE of aircraft for the target times.. of course I never finish better than second , I partake of too much of Capt.Zloogs wonderfull kettle products and it effects my navigation skill somewhat..

Sorry guys. I have been caught up with other things and haven't been on the Forum for a day or two.
Thomas, I trust Urs response answered your question. Thanks very much, Urs.
Plan-G is an excellent flight planning tool and I highly recommend it.
Cheers
Andrew

Regards Bill GAAR030 DCA1620 Bill, The Test Flight is flown at an indicative altitude to establish a baseline for your aircraft which is then used to calculate your Target Time for each Flight Leg. In the GAAR, the emphasis is not just on the flying and navigating, but also the flight planning necessary to achieve this. Unlike other events, such as DC-3 Airways' World Rally, you have to do the detailed flight planning for each Flight Leg and this should provide you with a flight profile, including cruise altitude and cruise speed, suitable for the Flight Leg, to achieve your Target Time. This should be consistent with VFR or IFR using the Semicircular / Hemispheric Rule, i.e. 000 to 179 - odd flight levels; 180 to 359 - even flight levels. The VFR Guide page on the GAAR web site provides a full explanation of this. More reading can be found at the link below. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_levelI hope this explains things and isn't confusing. Cheers Andrew |
