IVAO is pleased to announce a Real Flights Event on May 17th from 1230Z onwards.
Mumbai Airport (also known as Bombay Airport) (ICAO: VABB) was chosen as the host division by the IVAO membership from bids submitted by eligible divisions. With a great mix of short hops to long hauls, the event truly offers something for everyone with a number of flights to choose from.
The popular Real Flights Events, now in its second year, is designed to reproduce real-world movements at the host airport during the given time slot. Of course, full air traffic control services will be provided at the host airport as well as select nearby airfields and nearby FIR's.
The Indian Divison and IVAO Events Department invite you to join us for a flight in Mumbai airspace on May 17, 2008. For more details about the event, see www.ivao.aero/events/RFE"

While the pilots took the prototype on a sustained climb to 16,000 feet, engineers monitored the aircraft’s instrumentation and safety equipment via telemetry systems at Cessna’s engineering facility at Mid-Continent Airport, where the CJ4 landed.

Aerosoft releases LISBON!!! |

Aersoft has just released Lisbon by Michael Kopatz who recreated the airport up to the smallest detail incl. all buildings and installations, docking systems and all the features you expected from a modern scenery development in FS2004.
Lisbon Airport is the main international gateway to Portugal and a major European hub. It is one of the largest airports in Southern Europe. The airport has two main runways, capable of accommodating large-size aircraft such as the Boeing 747. Before the existence of the actual Lisbon Airport, Lisbon was served by an aerodrome called "Campo Internacional de Aterragem" located in Alverca. At the end of the 50´s Cabo Ruivo was closed and all the air operations were transferred to Portela. In 2007, the airport handled 13 392 059 passengers and 82 879 tonnes of cargo and it is the main base-hub of the national Portuguese airline TAP-Air Portugal.
The Airport ground texture is based on a high detailed areal image. All buildings, lighting systems, navigation beacons and of course the layout of taxiways and runways have been recreated to perfection. Static aircraft can be de-activated to make room for the AI traffic. Runway 03/21 in Lisbon has two special Rapid Exit Taxiways, RET's. These taxiways (HN and HS) allow the aircraft to leave the runway at high speed.
