SAG, the 'Switzerland Austria Germany VACC', part
of the VATSIM Network, invites all pilots for
another special training event to be held from
March 25th, 2002 from 1900Z-2300Z on the VATSIM
Network between Frankfurt EDDF and Berlin/Tegel
EDDT. This event focuses on NDB navigation and is
intended to allow pilots and controllers to
improve their skills in flying from NDB to NDB
enroute and to practice NDB approaches at
airports. For this purpose we have prepared a
special route between Frankfurt and Berlin/Tegel
at FL170. This way we will be out of the way for
'normal' enroute traffic. Any aircraft capable of
crusing at FL170 is fine, such as a twin
turboprop. The route is 355 nm in length and can
be accomplished in about 1:20 hours.
