World Flight 2010 The Art Of Flying - December 2009 - March 2010
DRZEWIECKI DESIGN AIR TRANSPORT
...in cooperation with...
...and our supporters...
...welcomes you to an exceptional event:
EVENT DESCRIPTION & REQUIREMENTS   World Flight 2010 The Art Of Flying, organized by Drzewiecki Design Air Transport in cooperation with other virtual airlines and our sponsors, is a global event taking place on VATSIM network from December 2009 to March 2010. This is our third world flight project. In our previous World Flight 2009 Extreme Approaches event 160 operations were performed, we travelled 113528km and visited 25 countries on our Boeing 737-900ER DDAT. This time we will be following the new route on our Beechcraft B60 Duke, with no GPS, FMC and such staff. All we have got for our navigation is a standard IFR equipment, weather radar and an ASA's CX2 Pathfinder calculator.   The whole project consists of 68 main flights in total and we will visit 67 airports located in 34 countries. Between each parts of our main route some local flights may be executed. All airports were carefully selected taking into the consideration their location (maximum range of our B60 is ~1100nm), charts/sceneries availability and approach difficulty level. Some of those airports have exceptional approaches - technically demanding, non-standard and famously dangerous. The experience you get during World Flight 2010 The Art Of Flying will change your flight simulator flying forever. Please keep in mind that this is not a beginners' event. Pilot's advanced experience and knowledge is required as well as all sceneries installed and charts obtained. Only aircrafts with a range greater than 1100 nautical miles can fly with us as there are some legs over oceans with no refueling possibility. No booking is required - wherever your home base is located, you can join our group any time for as many legs as you wish. For virtual airlines there is an option of cooperating with our virtual airline Drzewiecki Design Air Transport during the World Flight 2010 The Art Of Flying event. Details are listed below.   We will try to provide you as much ATC service as possible by contacting each VATSIM division directors and event coordinators.   There is no fundraising or solicitation of donations in this event. The "World Flight 2010 The Art Of Flying" event is a private initiative. Nobody has any financial profit from this event, including any type of charity, donations, premium accounts etc. The event is organized only to promote a realistic virtual flying all over the world. We are not associated with Worldflight Charity Fundraising in any way. Companies listed as "supporters" provided us their own payware sceneries and/or some promotion. Participating in the event as a pilot or cooperating as a virtual airline is absolutely free of charge.
EVENT STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION   The main route consists of 68 flights and is divided into 4 parts. There are going to be longer stops in the main route at some locations. During those stops some extra local flights (Australia, Tahiti, Alaska etc) might be executed. Look at the pictures below showing Earth with all routes.

EVENT'S WEBSITE STRUCTURE   All important information about the event are accessible from the upper menu:   - the page you are looking at right now. General information about our event - here you can find the detailed flightplan for each stage. Please recheck it 24 hours before a flight - after each flight some photos and/or videos will be placed here. Your plane's picture might be there too!
HOW TO PARTICIPATE AS A PILOT   Completing the whole route of World Flight 2010 The Art Of Flying event will change your flight simulator flying forever, even if you have a large experience as a virtual pilot. Please keep in mind that this is not a beginners' event. Our route includes many of the most dangerous and difficult airports in the world. You need to be prepared for all those "strange" approaches and be able to make fast decisions in case something goes wrong. The way of participation is the same as in many other events. There is nothing like a booking system so you can simply join us for as many legs as you wish, depending on your current location and your free time. Of course we welcome you to join us for the whole route or at least for one part of the route. Here are few steps to join us succesfully: See the plan below - you will find a clear visualizations of every part of our route and dates of each flight Select an airport to join us. Joining for at least one part of the route will be appreciated Navigate to the upper menu and click "Flightplan" (or click on any visualization below) - the page with a detailed flightplan will open Find a flight you are interested in and download required charts and sceneries (we don't use default sceneries as they are very unrealistic) Select a plane you will fly. If you are planning to join us for several legs, we kindly ask you to use the same plane and the same callsign Install a scenery and check it! You should study your charts before each flight to make sure you will not be confused later in the air Recheck the flightplan info up to 24 hours prior to departure. Check the proposed route, check NOTAMs and weather forcasts This is all you need to do for every standard event, so actually there is nothing special in the briefing. Remember that every pilot is responsable for himself! There is no excuse if you will not be able to get charts for some reason or an appropriate scenery and then make a mess by using a default airports or having no idea about some local procedures. And after all this don't forget to have fun! Our private voice/text frequency for the whole event is 122.550. Welcome!
CHARTS & SCENERIES   Please visit our Flightplan section. There are links provided to all charts and sceneries we will be using. All sceneries are designed for MS Flight Simulator X, so in case you use older versions you need to look for sceneries yourself. We don't use any default sceneries as they are usually very unrealistic. We will be using payware and freeware add-ons made by various manufacturers. For free FS2004 sceneries please visit Walhalla website, for payware sceneries try Simmarket or other stores. Some of the sceneries will be available on our Forum in the Download section. Charts are usually easly accesible from local Vatsim divisions or simply from Google ("ICAO charts" or "AIP Country" eg. "YAYE charts" or "AIP Iran"). You will find all links to required charts in our Flightplan section.   There are some payware add-on sceneries that are highly reccomended for this event. We are kindly suggesting you to consider buying FSGlobal2010 (great mesh for the whole world), Ultimate Terrain (roads, railroads, textures, coastlines, rivers, landclass etc. for Europe and North America - available as a download on Flight1) and FTX (incredible photographic scenery for the whole Australia). You may also have a look at Asian and South American landclass sceneries by SceneryTech. ActiveSky will also help you a lot and together with FSUIPC will make the whole global weather much more realistic.
HOW TO COOPERATE AS A VIRTUAL AIRLINE   Cooperation is very easy and is pointed to promote our event and reliable virtual airlines. Cooperating airline is required to: participate in at least five legs of our route place the banner of our event on airline's website (available in Promo section) and allow us putting a hyperlinked picture with logo of cooperating airline on our event's home page, above the sponsors write "WF2010TAOF" in the "remarks" section of a filed flightplan to inform an ATC that you are a participant of the event Cooperating airline is allowed to send different pilots for different legs. Breaking one of the required rules will cause deleting an airline's logo from our website with no other consequences. All other logos and links will remain on this website and will not be removed. Please keep in mind that some airports are very short grass strips so there will be no way to land there with a jet.
