Latest News & Updates for Members November

Dear Members,

Last month's activity at Fly UK had an average of 316 unique pilots per week filing a PIREP in October. We received 2,011  Mainstream PIREPs, 853 Tour PIREPs and 704 Flying Club PIREPs. Membership numbers currently stand at 982 

The Aerosoft Airbus Professional liveries are now available for all our fleet and the Nordic B712 has also been repainted to the new specification required by TFDi. The 2018 Fleet AI and VMR files download has now been updated to include all of our fleet.
 

Awards

Some of our awards are not automatic and you must request them - the 5 year and 10 year anniversary of being at Fly UK are two that need you to request, either by posting in the forums or by sending an email to Human Resources.
 

Staff

UKV1777 Peter has been removed from the staff list as he has lost contact with us due to real world events. He is currently on long term leave but has emailed me today to say he hopes to have a computer and sim operational by mid November

Two new tours will be in place for 1st November - Alaskan Adventure and Flying Club USA West To East Tour. The next review of tours is planned for 01 December 2018.

The status of the repeated Sunday flights will be reviewed from 01 December 2018 and probably be used on a more ad hoc basis for Special events.    

This month, our Wednesday / Sunday Flying Club flights held on the FSD Server, will be a mixed collection of varied, interesting locations and a few technical sessions.
